Oftentimes, its difficult to picture the difference in sensor measurements only by looking through technical specs. The visual underneath will help provide you a far better sense of the sensor measurements in the 400D and 7030.

As you can tell, both the cameras enjoy different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The 400D because of its bigger sensor is going to make shooting shallow depth of field easier and the Olympus 7030 will result in greater detail due to its extra 4MP. Higher resolution will let you crop shots far more aggressively. The older 400D will be behind when it comes to sensor tech.
