Normally, it is very hard to visualize the gap in sensor dimensions only by researching technical specs. The picture here will help offer you a stronger sense of the sensor sizes in the Z5 and TG-610.
As you have seen, each of these cameras posses different megapixels and different sensor dimensions. The Z5 having a larger sensor is going to make getting shallow DOF easier and the Nikon Z5 will result in more detail having an extra 10 Megapixels. Greater resolution will let you crop photos somewhat more aggressively. The more modern Z5 provides an edge with regard to sensor innovation.
