Nikon D7000 has a
16.0MP APS-C (23.6 x 15.7 mm ) sized CMOS sensor and features Expeed 2 processor. On the other hand, Nikon D2H has a
4.0MP APS-C (23.7 x 15.5 mm ) sized JFET sensor .
Nikon D7000's sensor provides 12MP more than Nikon D2H's sensor, which gives a significant advantage in real life. You can print your images larger or crop more freely.
On the other hand, please keep in mind that Max sensor resolution is not the only determinant of resolving power. Factors such as the optical elements, low pass filter, pixel size and sensor technology also affects the final resolution of the captured image.
Below you can see the D7000 and D2H sensor size comparison.
Sensor Size and Resolution Comparison image of Nikon D7000 and Nikon D2H Cameras
Nikon D7000 and Nikon D2H have almost the same sensor size, so neither of them has any significant advantage over the other in terms of providing control over depth of field when used with the same focal length and aperture.
DxOMark Sensor Scores
Both Nikon D7000 and Nikon D2H 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, D7000 has scored 80, 40 points higher than D2H.

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 D7000
or the
Nikon D2H ,
including hyperfocal distance.
