As you have seen, both of those cameras come with different resolutions and different sensor sizing. The Z5 due to its bigger sensor is going to make getting shallower DOF less difficult and the Nikon Z5 will deliver extra detail as a result of its extra 12 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also help you crop shots a good deal more aggressively. The more recent Z5 should have an advantage when it comes to sensor technology.
