To sum up, both of those cameras have different megapixels and different sensor dimensions. The Z5 due to its larger sensor is going to make shooting shallower depth of field easier and the Nikon Z5 will result in extra detail as a result of its extra 10 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also make it easier to crop photos a bit more aggressively. The more recent Z5 should have an edge when it comes to sensor innovation.
