Normally, it can be difficult to visualize the contrast between sensor dimensions purely by looking at technical specs. The pic below should give you a more clear sense of the sensor measurements in the Z5 and E-620.

As you have seen, both of the cameras come with different resolutions and different sensor dimensions. The Z5 with its larger sensor is going to make shooting shallow depth of field easier and the Nikon Z5 will give you greater detail using its extra 12MP. Greater resolution will help you crop images a good deal more aggressively. The more recent Z5 should have an edge when it comes to sensor innovation.
