Usually, its tough to see the difference in sensor sizing purely by going through a spec sheet. The visual below may give you a far better sense of the sensor measurements in the L24 and Z5.

Clearly, the 2 cameras feature different megapixels and different sensor sizing. The L24 with its smaller sensor will make shooting shallow depth of field more challenging and the Nikon Z5 will provide more detail using its extra 10MP. Greater resolution can also allow you to crop pics way more aggressively. The older L24 will be behind with regard to sensor innovation.
