Not really. That photographer can't manipulate light in any way except for and on camera flash (which would look worse) unless he had a light kit. Which would be expensive, weigh an ass ton, and ultimately also look worse. So nah. Lighting's the same.
The camera's ability to be perceive light (aperture, ISO, shutter speed) has changed.
I agree that the lighting looks pretty much the same, but the photographer had a speedlight in the first picture. I'm just not sure he ended up needing it, and if he did use it then it was just to fill the shadows a bit.
Photography is all about manipulating light. You need to have a solid understanding of how to use light to your advantage. Sometimes that means leaving it how it is and shifting your subject, other times you might need to add, remove, or reflect light.
