Sometimes, it is very hard to picture the difference between sensor sizing just by checking specs. The graphic below will give you a much better sense of the sensor sizing in the NEX-7 and H200.

All in all, each of the cameras come with different megapixel count and different sensor sizing. The NEX-7 using its bigger sensor is going to make getting shallow DOF less difficult and the Sony NEX-7 will give extra detail because of its extra 4MP. Higher resolution can also allow you to crop pictures a good deal more aggressively. The older NEX-7 is going to be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor tech.
