Oftentimes, it can be hard to picture the contrast between sensor sizes just by checking a spec sheet. The picture here should provide you a much better sense of the sensor sizes in the R6 and Z7.

Clearly, the 2 cameras have got the exact same sensor measurements but different resolution. You can anticipate the Nikon Z7 to resolve more detail using its extra 26MP. Greater resolution will make it easier to crop pics much more aggressively. The newer R6 provides an edge with regard to sensor technology.
