Plainly, each of the cameras provide different megapixels and different sensor dimensions. The T7i with its bigger sensor is going to make shooting shallower DOF easier and the Canon T7i will deliver more detail with its extra 12 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also enable you to crop photographs more aggressively. The more modern T7i should have a benefit when it comes to sensor innovation.
