Oftentimes, it is very hard to picture the difference between sensor sizes just by checking specs. The pic here should provide you a better sense of the sensor sizing in the R7 and TL.
All in all, both of these cameras have the same sensor dimensions albeit different MP. You should count on the Canon R7 to give you extra detail utilizing its extra 17MP. Higher resolution will also allow you to crop photographs a bit more aggressively. The newer R7 should have a benefit in sensor innovation.
