Quite often, it is very difficult to picture the gap in sensor sizes purely by checking out technical specs. The picture below may offer you a stronger sense of the sensor dimensions in the D610 and D7000.

As you have seen, both cameras have different megapixels and different sensor sizes. The D610 using its bigger sensor is going to make achieving shallow depth of field simpler and the Nikon D610 will show more detail having an extra 8MP. Higher resolution can also help you crop photographs a bit more aggressively. The younger D610 should have an advantage with regard to sensor tech.
