As you have seen, both of those cameras enjoy different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The SX610 HS using its tinier sensor is going to make getting shallower DOF harder and the Nikon Z7 will resolve greater detail because of its extra 26MP. Higher resolution will allow you to crop photographs far more aggressively. The older SX610 HS is going to be behind when it comes to sensor technology.
