All in all, the two cameras enjoy the same exact sensor sizing but not the same resolution. You should expect to see the Nikon D7500 to offer greater detail using its extra 15MP. Greater resolution will also let you crop pics far more aggressively. The more aged Minolta 5D is going to be behind in sensor innovation.
