The EX-Z270 because of its tinier sensor is going to make shooting shallower depth of field more challenging and the Nikon Z7 will offer greater detail utilizing its extra 36 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also enable you to crop pics way more aggressively. The more aged EX-Z270 is going to be disadvantaged in sensor innovation.
