Normally, it's difficult to visualise the gap in sensor measurements only by going through technical specs. The visual below will help offer you a more clear sense of the sensor sizes in the Z fc and G7.

As you can tell, both of those cameras enjoy different megapixels and different sensor measurements. The Z fc using its larger sensor will make achieving shallower DOF easier and the Nikon Z fc will provide more detail using its extra 5MP. Greater resolution will make it easier to crop photos far more aggressively. The more modern Z fc will have an advantage with regard to sensor technology.
