Clearly, both of those cameras provide different megapixels and different sensor sizes. The D7500 using its bigger sensor will make achieving shallower DOF less difficult and the Nikon D7500 will provide more detail using its extra 5 Megapixels. Higher resolution will enable you to crop photographs more aggressively. The more recent D7500 is going to have an advantage in sensor technology.
