Quite often, it is very hard to visualise the gap in sensor sizes merely by seeing technical specs. The pic underneath will help give you a stronger sense of the sensor sizing in the 650D and SL3.

As you can tell, each of these cameras feature the identical sensor size albeit not the same resolution. You can expect the Canon SL3 to show more detail as a result of its extra 6 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also make it easier to crop photographs way more aggressively. The more aged 650D will be behind when it comes to sensor technology.
