As you can tell, each of these cameras have got different megapixels and different sensor sizes. The S810c using its tinier sensor is going to make achieving shallow DOF harder and the Nikon Z7 will resolve more detail with its extra 30MP. Greater resolution can also make it easier to crop pics much more aggressively. The more aged S810c is going to be behind with regard to sensor technology.
