All in all, the two cameras come with different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The Z5 because of its bigger sensor is going to make achieving shallow depth of field easier and the Nikon Z5 will render extra detail due to its extra 12MP. Higher resolution will allow you to crop shots a good deal more aggressively. The more recent Z5 provides a benefit in sensor technology.
