More often than not, it's hard to envision the gap between sensor dimensions just by reading through a spec sheet. The picture underneath may give you a clearer sense of the sensor dimensions in the Z980 and P900.

Clearly, both of the cameras have got the exact same sensor measurements but not the same resolution. You can anticipate the Nikon P900 to give extra detail having its extra 4 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also make it easier to crop images much more aggressively. The more aged Z980 is going to be behind when it comes to sensor tech.
