More often than not, it can be tough to imagine the contrast in sensor dimensions only by going through a spec sheet. The picture here will offer you a stronger sense of the sensor sizing in the 40D and Z7 II.

As you can see, the 2 cameras have got different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The 40D with its smaller sensor is going to make shooting bokeh harder and the Nikon Z7 II will show greater detail because of its extra 36 Megapixels. Greater resolution will enable you to crop images much more aggressively. The more aged 40D will be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor tech.
