Normally, it is very difficult to visualize the gap between sensor sizing only by looking at specifications. The graphic here will give you a stronger sense of the sensor dimensions in the T7 and A450.

To sum up, the 2 cameras posses the exact same sensor measurements albeit different resolution. You can count on the Canon T7 to resolve more detail as a result of its extra 10 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also allow you to crop pictures somewhat more aggressively. The newer T7 should have an edge in sensor tech.
