Often, it is hard to imagine the difference in sensor sizes only by researching technical specs. The image here should give you a far better sense of the sensor measurements in the T7i and 1 S1.

As you have seen, each of the cameras posses different megapixels and different sensor sizes. The T7i due to its larger sensor is going to make achieving shallower DOF less difficult and the Canon T7i will result in extra detail as a result of its extra 14 Megapixels. Greater resolution will enable you to crop pics somewhat more aggressively. The more modern T7i provides an advantage with regard to sensor technology.
