Oftentimes, it's tough to imagine the gap in sensor sizes only by going through specs. The image here will offer you a greater sense of the sensor measurements in the T7i and E-30.

All in all, the two cameras provide different megapixels and different sensor sizes. The T7i using its bigger sensor is going to make shooting shallow DOF easier and the Canon T7i will show greater detail with its extra 12MP. Higher resolution will help you crop photographs more aggressively. The fresher T7i provides an advantage in sensor technology.
