Quite often, it can be difficult to picture the gap between sensor sizing simply by reading specifications. The photograph here will help give you a far better sense of the sensor sizing in the D7100 and D780.

Plainly, both cameras come with different megapixels and different sensor sizing. The D7100 using its tinier sensor is going to make shooting shallow depth of field trickier and the Nikon D780 will deliver greater detail with its extra 1 Megapixels. Greater resolution will let you crop images a good deal more aggressively. The older D7100 is going to be disadvantaged with regard to sensor innovation.
