Sometimes, it can be difficult to picture the gap between sensor sizes merely by reading through specifications. The picture below might provide you a much better sense of the sensor sizes in the R7 and T  Type 701.
Plainly, each of the cameras posses the exact same sensor measurements but different resolution. You can expect to see the Canon R7 to give extra detail using its extra 17 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also help you crop pics somewhat more aggressively. The more recent R7 provides an edge with regard to sensor technology.
