More often than not, it can be tough to visualize the difference in sensor measurements only by viewing specs. The photograph here might give you a more clear sense of the sensor measurements in the R7 and Z fc.
All in all, both of those cameras have the same sensor dimensions albeit different MP. You can count on the Canon R7 to provide you with extra detail as a result of its extra 12 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also help you crop shots a bit more aggressively. The more recent R7 should have an advantage when it comes to sensor tech.
