In many cases, it can be difficult to envision the gap in sensor dimensions merely by researching technical specs. The pic below should give you a better sense of the sensor measurements in the Fujifilm X-T5 and Z5.

As you can tell, the two cameras posses different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The Fujifilm X-T5 with its smaller sensor will make achieving shallower DOF more challenging and the Fujifilm X-T5 will render extra detail with its extra 16MP. Higher resolution will also make it easier to crop shots somewhat more aggressively. The younger Fujifilm X-T5 will have an edge when it comes to sensor innovation.
