Oftentimes, its hard to imagine the difference between sensor dimensions just by checking technical specs. The picture below might give you a stronger sense of the sensor sizes in the 700D and E-600.

As you can tell, both of the cameras enjoy different resolutions and different sensor dimensions. The 700D using its bigger sensor is going to make getting shallower depth of field simpler and the Canon 700D will give you greater detail using its extra 6 Megapixels. Higher resolution will enable you to crop pictures far more aggressively. The fresher 700D should have an edge when it comes to sensor technology.
