Typically, it can be hard to picture the gap in sensor dimensions just by viewing a spec sheet. The image underneath will help provide you a better sense of the sensor sizes in the 5DS R and D7000.

Clearly, both of these cameras have got different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The 5DS R featuring a bigger sensor is going to make shooting shallower depth of field less difficult and the Canon 5DS R will result in more detail due to its extra 35 Megapixels. Higher resolution will let you crop photographs much more aggressively. The more modern 5DS R provides an edge in sensor tech.
