Generally, it is hard to visualise the contrast in sensor sizes purely by going through a spec sheet. The pic below will give you a greater sense of the sensor sizing in the M Typ 262 and Z6.

Clearly, the two cameras posses the exact same sensor measurements albeit not the same megapixels. You can expect the Nikon Z6 to show greater detail having an extra 1 Megapixels. Higher resolution will let you crop shots somewhat more aggressively. The more aged M Typ 262 will be disadvantaged in sensor innovation.
