Clearly, both of those cameras posses different megapixels and different sensor dimensions. The T7i using its larger sensor is going to make achieving shallower depth of field simpler and the Canon T7i will result in greater detail using its extra 17MP. Greater resolution will enable you to crop images somewhat more aggressively. The younger T7i provides an edge when it comes to sensor innovation.
