As you can plainly see, both cameras enjoy the same exact sensor sizing but not the same megapixels. You can expect to see the Canon 700D to produce greater detail with its extra 8 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also help you crop pics far more aggressively. The younger 700D is going to have an advantage in sensor tech.
