As you can plainly see, both of the cameras posses different resolutions and different sensor sizes. The 7D with its bigger sensor will make shooting shallower depth of field less difficult and the Canon 7D will render more detail with its extra 2MP. Higher resolution will also make it easier to crop pictures somewhat more aggressively. The more aged 7D will be disadvantaged with regard to sensor technology.
