In many cases, its difficult to envision the difference between sensor dimensions merely by reading technical specs. The image here will provide you a more clear sense of the sensor dimensions in the Z fc and K-01.

As you have seen, each of the cameras have got the exact same sensor measurements but not the same resolution. You should expect to see the Nikon Z fc to deliver greater detail with its extra 5 Megapixels. Greater resolution will enable you to crop pics much more aggressively. The fresher Z fc will have a benefit with regard to sensor tech.
