As you have seen, each of these cameras come with different megapixel count and different sensor sizing. The D7500 with its tinier sensor will make achieving shallower depth of field trickier and the Nikon D800E will offer more detail because of its extra 15MP. Higher resolution can also make it easier to crop shots a good deal more aggressively. The newer D7500 will have an edge in sensor innovation.
