Generally, it is very hard to imagine the contrast between sensor dimensions just by checking a spec sheet. The image underneath should provide you a clearer sense of the sensor sizes in the Fujifilm S4200 and Z7 II.

As you can see, the 2 cameras posses different megapixels and different sensor dimensions. The Fujifilm S4200 with its tinier sensor is going to make shooting shallower depth of field trickier and the Nikon Z7 II will give you more detail having an extra 32MP. Higher resolution will also let you crop photographs somewhat more aggressively. The more aged Fujifilm S4200 is going to be behind in sensor tech.
