Canon 7D vs Nikon S810c Sensor Comparison

As you can see, each of the cameras posses different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The 7D featuring a larger sensor is going to make getting bokeh less difficult and the Canon 7D will deliver extra detail due to its extra 2MP. Greater resolution can also make it easier to crop pics somewhat more aggressively. The older 7D is going to be behind when it comes to sensor technology.
