All in all, the 2 cameras enjoy different megapixels and different sensor sizes. The Fujifilm X-T5 with its smaller sensor is going to make shooting shallower DOF harder and the Nikon Z7 will render more detail having an extra 6 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also help you crop shots far more aggressively. The newer Fujifilm X-T5 should have a benefit when it comes to sensor innovation.
