Sometimes, it can be difficult to visualise the gap in sensor measurements only by checking out a spec sheet. The graphic below will provide you a far better sense of the sensor sizing in the 1D and 7010.

As you can see, the 2 cameras have different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The 1D because of its larger sensor will make shooting bokeh simpler and the Olympus 7010 will provide more detail due to its extra 8MP. Greater resolution will enable you to crop images a bit more aggressively. The older 1D will be behind with regard to sensor technology.
