As you can see, both cameras come with different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The 7D with its larger sensor is going to make getting shallower depth of field easier and the Canon 7D will deliver more detail using its extra 2 Megapixels. Greater resolution will allow you to crop pics a good deal more aggressively. The older 7D is going to be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor tech.
