In many cases, it's hard to envision the gap in sensor dimensions only by seeing a spec sheet. The pic underneath will help provide you a far better sense of the sensor sizing in the Z950 and Z8.
Clearly, each of these cameras posses different resolutions and different sensor dimensions. The Z950 due to its smaller sensor will make achieving shallow DOF trickier and the Nikon Z8 will show more detail having its extra 34 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also enable you to crop photos somewhat more aggressively. The more aged Z950 will be behind in sensor technology.
