Normally, it's hard to envision the contrast between sensor measurements just by reading through a spec sheet. The photograph here might offer you a greater sense of the sensor measurements in the P1000 and Z50.

As you can see, each of the cameras have different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The P1000 using its tinier sensor will make getting bokeh harder and the Nikon Z50 will give greater detail having an extra 5MP. Greater resolution will let you crop pics a bit more aggressively. The older P1000 is going to be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor tech.
