Generally, it is hard to envision the difference in sensor dimensions only by viewing technical specs. The pic underneath will offer you a more clear sense of the sensor measurements in the Minolta 7D and D850.

As you can tell, both the cameras provide different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The Minolta 7D having a smaller sensor will make shooting bokeh trickier and the Nikon D850 will render more detail with its extra 40MP. Greater resolution will also help you crop pics more aggressively. The more aged Minolta 7D will be disadvantaged in sensor tech.
