The Fujifilm Z300 with its tinier sensor is going to make shooting shallower depth of field harder and the Nikon Z6 will resolve extra detail having an extra 15MP. Higher resolution can also make it easier to crop pictures a little more aggressively. The more aged Fujifilm Z300 is going to be behind when it comes to sensor tech.
