More often than not, its hard to envision the difference between sensor measurements only by going over specs. The photograph underneath will offer you a clearer sense of the sensor measurements in the R7 and R8.

As you can plainly see, both of the cameras have different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The R7 with its tinier sensor will make achieving shallow depth of field more challenging and the Canon R7 will offer you greater detail because of its extra 9 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also allow you to crop pics a bit more aggressively. The older R7 is going to be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor tech.
