Plainly, both the cameras have different megapixels and different sensor measurements. The 7D using its larger sensor will make achieving shallow DOF less difficult and the Canon 7D will provide you with more detail because of its extra 4 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also make it easier to crop images a bit more aggressively. The older 7D will be disadvantaged with regard to sensor technology.
