Typically, it is very difficult to picture the difference between sensor sizes merely by reading through specifications. The image here will help provide you a much better sense of the sensor dimensions in the Z915 and P7800.

Plainly, the two cameras enjoy different megapixels and different sensor sizes. The Z915 having a tinier sensor is going to make getting bokeh more difficult and the Nikon P7800 will give you more detail because of its extra 2MP. Higher resolution will also make it easier to crop pictures far more aggressively. The more aged Z915 is going to be behind with regard to sensor technology.
