Sometimes, its tough to picture the gap between sensor dimensions just by going over technical specs. The picture here should offer you a clearer sense of the sensor sizes in the S2950 and Z7.

As you can tell, both the cameras have got different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The S2950 because of its tinier sensor is going to make achieving shallow depth of field more difficult and the Nikon Z7 will deliver extra detail as a result of its extra 32MP. Greater resolution will also let you crop photos much more aggressively. The more aged S2950 is going to be behind with regard to sensor tech.
