Canon 7D MII vs Canon T7i Sensor Comparison

Quite often, it is hard to see the difference in sensor sizing simply by seeing a spec sheet. The photograph here will help give you a more clear sense of the sensor measurements in the 7D MII and T7i.

Clearly, the two cameras enjoy the same exact sensor sizing but not the same MP. You should expect to see the Canon T7i to produce greater detail because of its extra 4MP. Greater resolution will also help you crop photos far more aggressively. The older 7D MII will be disadvantaged in sensor innovation.
