Plainly, both of these cameras posses different megapixels and different sensor measurements. The 7D because of its larger sensor is going to make getting shallow depth of field less difficult and the Canon 7D will give greater detail utilizing its extra 2 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also help you crop photos somewhat more aggressively. The older 7D is going to be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor tech.
