Normally, it can be tough to picture the difference in sensor sizing only by looking through a spec sheet. The graphic below might offer you a much better sense of the sensor measurements in the 7000 and RZ10.

As you can see, both of those cameras feature the identical sensor size albeit different megapixels. You can count on the Pentax RZ10 to render greater detail because of its extra 2MP. Higher resolution will allow you to crop shots way more aggressively. The older 7000 will be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor tech.
