Canon 5D vs Canon T7i Sensor Comparison

Usually, it is hard to visualise the contrast between sensor sizes only by reading a spec sheet. The image below should provide you a far better sense of the sensor dimensions in the 5D and T7i.

Clearly, each of these cameras posses different resolutions and different sensor sizes. The 5D having a larger sensor will make achieving bokeh less difficult and the Canon T7i will offer extra detail with its extra 11 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also enable you to crop photos somewhat more aggressively. The more aged 5D is going to be disadvantaged with regard to sensor tech.
