As you can plainly see, both of the cameras have the same sensor dimensions albeit different megapixels. You can count on the Nikon Z6 II to deliver more detail having its extra 1MP. Higher resolution will also help you crop photographs a bit more aggressively. The more aged M10 is going to be behind with regard to sensor innovation.
