Often, it is very difficult to picture the contrast between sensor sizing only by reading through specs. The photograph here may offer you a more clear sense of the sensor dimensions in the P7000 and E85.
As you can plainly see, both cameras have got different resolutions and different sensor sizing. The P7000 featuring a bigger sensor is going to make achieving bokeh easier and the Pentax E85 will give greater detail due to its extra 2 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also help you crop photographs much more aggressively. The younger P7000 should have an edge with regard to sensor innovation.
