Typically, it is very difficult to envision the contrast between sensor measurements merely by looking at technical specs. The visual underneath should give you a better sense of the sensor measurements in the T7 and K100D S.

As you can tell, the two cameras enjoy the same exact sensor sizing but not the same megapixels. You can expect to see the Canon T7 to give you more detail as a result of its extra 18MP. Greater resolution will help you crop photos far more aggressively. The more modern T7 will have a benefit when it comes to sensor technology.
