More often than not, it is very tough to envision the gap between sensor sizes purely by going over specifications. The picture here may provide you a clearer sense of the sensor measurements in the Z700EXR and FP8.

Plainly, both the cameras have got the exact same megapixel count but not the same sensor sizes. The Z700EXR includes the larger sensor which is going to make obtaining shallow depth of field easier. The younger Z700EXR will have a benefit with regard to sensor innovation.
