Plainly, both of those cameras come with different megapixel count and different sensor sizes. The NEX-7 with its bigger sensor is going to make achieving shallower depth of field simpler and the Sony NEX-7 will deliver extra detail with its extra 6 Megapixels. Higher resolution will allow you to crop shots a good deal more aggressively. The more aged NEX-7 is going to be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor technology.
