Oftentimes, it can be difficult to picture the contrast in sensor dimensions purely by going through specs. The pic here will give you a greater sense of the sensor sizing in the Minolta 7D and Df.

As you can plainly see, the two cameras come with different resolutions and different sensor dimensions. The Minolta 7D due to its smaller sensor is going to make achieving shallower DOF harder and the Nikon Df will provide greater detail as a result of its extra 10MP. Higher resolution will allow you to crop pictures a good deal more aggressively. The more aged Minolta 7D will be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor innovation.
