All in all, both of those cameras provide different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The 7010 with its smaller sensor will make getting bokeh more challenging and the Sony ZV-1 will produce greater detail having an extra 8 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also help you crop pictures more aggressively. The older 7010 will be disadvantaged in sensor technology.
