Typically, it's tough to visualise the contrast between sensor sizing merely by going over a spec sheet. The graphic here will provide you a greater sense of the sensor measurements in the A700 and TX7.

Clearly, both the cameras provide different resolutions and different sensor sizing. The A700 using its larger sensor will make getting shallow DOF easier and the Sony A700 will offer greater detail with its extra 2 Megapixels. Greater resolution will help you crop images more aggressively. The older A700 is going to be behind in sensor innovation.
