Canon T5i Advantages:

• Viewfinder Magnification – Higher magnification.

• Less Expensive – The T5i costs around $250 less

The only T5i advantage is the lower price. If you don’t really find any of the T7i’s advantages to be worth it, you can save some money.

Canon T7i Advantages:

• Megapixels –  6.2 more megapixels. For printing big and cropping, the Canon T7i is a much better choice.

• Body Image Stabilization – The Canon T7i has built-in body stabilization for photos and videos, which is an excellent feature for traveling and shooting in low light.

• ISO – 51,200 vs 25,600. Higher maximum ISO sensitivity.

• AF Points – 45 vs 9.

• Cross-type AF Points – 45 vs 9. Cross-type AF Points are much more accurate and faster in low light.

• Continuous mode – 6fps vs 5fps. It’s an advantage, but not something you will really notice that often.

• JPEG Buffer Size – Unlimited vs 15. Useful for long bursts.

• RAW Buffer Size – 27 vs 6.

• Time-Lapse

• Built-in Wi-Fi

• Built-in NFC

• Bluetooth Support

• Battery Life – 600 shots vs 440 shots.

The T7i is a lot newer hence the better features. It’s got 6 more megapixels, built-in video stabilization, way better AF system with all cross-type points, better buffer sizes and built-in Wi-Fi. It’s more expensive, but worth every dollar if you want a good mid-range DSLR (whether you’re new to used to DSLR cameras).
