Canon also states that the SL1 has a new sensor which is not even shared with the T5i. So it's a different type of smaller dSLR.

You sir, are keeping the Canon marketing (read: hype) department humming.

When the megapixels are the same, the sensor is the same?

So, 24 megapixel sensor in the Nikon D7100 is the same as the 24 megapixel sensor in the Nikon D5200.

Technically, no it isn't. It has the same Toshiba silicon, but the package of the D5200 includes the rear section of the AA filter, while the D7100 sensor package doesn't. That does make for a very slight performance difference. The 24MP D3200 sensor is different again, it is a Nikon sensor - not quite as good as the Toshiba ones, but still quite OK.
