Generally, it's tough to visualize the difference between sensor measurements purely by reading a spec sheet. The photograph here may offer you a far better sense of the sensor dimensions in the 7000 and RX100 VII.

Clearly, both cameras provide different megapixels and different sensor measurements. The 7000 due to its tinier sensor is going to make achieving shallower depth of field tougher and the Sony RX100 VII will offer more detail due to its extra 8MP. Higher resolution will enable you to crop pictures more aggressively. The older 7000 is going to be behind with regard to sensor tech.
