As you can see, the two cameras have different resolutions and different sensor dimensions. The Z915 using its tinier sensor will make achieving shallow depth of field more challenging and the Nikon P340 will deliver extra detail having an extra 2MP. Greater resolution will let you crop photos a bit more aggressively. The more aged Z915 is going to be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor tech.
