Plainly, both of the cameras come with different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The Z5 due to its bigger sensor is going to make achieving shallower DOF less difficult and the Nikon Z5 will resolve extra detail having its extra 8 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also help you crop shots a good deal more aggressively. The more recent Z5 provides a benefit when it comes to sensor innovation.
