Both Nikon P7100 and Nikon P7000 have 1/1.7-inch sized 10.0 MP resolution sensors so sensor size and resolution is not a differentiator between these two cameras.
Below you can see the P7100 and P7000 sensor size comparison.
Sensor Size and Resolution Comparison image of Nikon P7100 and Nikon P7000 Cameras
Nikon P7100 and Nikon P7000 have the same sensor sizes so they will provide same level of control over the depth of field when used with same focal length and aperture.
DxOMark Sensor Scores
Both Nikon P7100 and Nikon P7000 sensors have been tested by DxoMark. DxoMark scores camera sensors for color depth (DXO Portrait), dynamic range (DXO Landscape) and low-light sensitivity (DXO Sports), and also gives them an overall score. Of the two cameras that we are comparing, P7100 has scored 41, 2 points higher than P7000.

Sensor size sets the circle of confusion, so it drives how much depth of field each
of these bodies gives you at a given aperture. You can calculate it exactly for the
Nikon P7100
or the
Nikon P7000 ,
including hyperfocal distance.
