Canon 7D vs Canon T7i Sensor Comparison

Oftentimes, its difficult to visualise the difference between sensor dimensions merely by reading specs. The image below might offer you a clearer sense of the sensor sizes in the 7D and T7i.

As you can plainly see, each of these cameras feature the identical sensor size but not the same megapixels. You should expect to see the Canon T7i to offer you extra detail with its extra 6MP. Greater resolution can also help you crop pics way more aggressively. The more aged 7D is going to be behind with regard to sensor innovation.
