Canon T7 vs Sony A390 Sensor Comparison
Sometimes, it is very tough to see the difference in sensor dimensions just by viewing a spec sheet. The pic here should offer you a far better sense of the sensor sizes in the T7 and A390.
As you can see, the two cameras have the same sensor dimensions albeit not the same megapixels. You can expect the Canon T7 to render more detail using its extra 10 Megapixels. Higher resolution will enable you to crop pictures a bit more aggressively. The newer T7 is going to have a benefit when it comes to sensor tech.
