To sum up, each of the cameras provide different megapixels and different sensor sizing. The 7D with its larger sensor will make achieving shallower depth of field simpler and the Canon 7D will resolve more detail because of its extra 4 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also help you crop photos more aggressively.
