More often than not, it's hard to visualise the contrast in sensor sizes purely by viewing specifications. The pic underneath will help provide you a greater sense of the sensor dimensions in the 70D and D7200.
Plainly, each of these cameras have the same sensor dimensions but not the same resolution. You can expect to see the Nikon D7200 to render extra detail utilizing its extra 4 Megapixels. Greater resolution will help you crop photos a bit more aggressively. The more aged 70D will be behind with regard to sensor innovation.
