As you can see, both the cameras offer different megapixels and different sensor measurements. The EX-Z2000 using its tinier sensor is going to make achieving shallower DOF more difficult and the Nikon Z7 will deliver extra detail having an extra 32 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also make it easier to crop photos a little more aggressively. The older EX-Z2000 is going to be behind with regard to sensor technology.
