Clearly, the two cameras have got different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The 650D due to its bigger sensor is going to make getting shallower depth of field simpler and the Canon 650D will resolve extra detail as a result of its extra 6MP. Higher resolution will also allow you to crop shots much more aggressively. The fresher 650D should have an advantage with regard to sensor technology.
