As you can plainly see, the two cameras enjoy different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The D7000 featuring a bigger sensor is going to make achieving shallow DOF less difficult and the Nikon D7000 will provide extra detail as a result of its extra 9 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also allow you to crop shots far more aggressively. The younger D7000 should have a benefit in sensor innovation.
