Clearly, both of these cameras enjoy the same exact sensor sizing but different megapixels. You can anticipate the Canon 700D to result in more detail having an extra 4 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also make it easier to crop images far more aggressively. The newer 700D should have a benefit in sensor innovation.
