Sometimes, it can be tough to visualize the contrast between sensor sizing purely by reading specifications. The visual below may give you a clearer sense of the sensor sizing in the D6 and 7030.

Plainly, both of these cameras have different megapixels and different sensor sizing. The D6 having a bigger sensor is going to make shooting shallower DOF simpler and the Nikon D6 will deliver more detail using its extra 7MP. Higher resolution will also enable you to crop photographs a bit more aggressively. The younger D6 provides an edge in sensor innovation.
