Generally, it is hard to picture the difference in sensor dimensions only by researching technical specs. The image underneath will give you a better sense of the sensor measurements in the Q7 and GXR P10 28-300mm F3.5-5.6 VC.
As you can tell, the 2 cameras enjoy different megapixels and different sensor dimensions. The Q7 because of its bigger sensor is going to make achieving shallower DOF less difficult and the Pentax Q7 will result in greater detail due to its extra 2MP. Higher resolution will help you crop shots far more aggressively. The more modern Q7 provides an advantage when it comes to sensor tech.
