Typically, it can be hard to imagine the difference in sensor dimensions merely by researching technical specs. The image underneath will help offer you a clearer sense of the sensor measurements in the Z5 and E-M10.

As you have seen, the two cameras have different resolutions and different sensor dimensions. The Z5 featuring a larger sensor is going to make achieving shallower depth of field less difficult and the Nikon Z5 will result in greater detail as a result of its extra 8MP. Greater resolution can also let you crop pics a bit more aggressively. The more recent Z5 provides an edge with regard to sensor technology.
