The Z5 was unveiled 9 years after the H70 which is quite a big gap as far as tech is concerned. Each of the cameras have different body design with the Nikon Z5 being a SLR-style mirrorless camera and the Sony H70 being a Compact camera.

Before getting straight to a detailed comparison, here is a short synopsis of how the Z5 scores versus the H70 with respect to portability, imaging, features and an overall score.

This is a preview of the gallery photos for Nikon Z5 and Sony Cyber-shot DSC-H70. The full galleries are viewable at Nikon Z5 Gallery and Sony H70 Gallery.

If you're intending to carry around your camera often, you are going to need to factor its weight and proportions.

Generally, it is very difficult to envision the gap between sensor sizes only by reviewing technical specs. The image here might offer you a better sense of the sensor dimensions in the Z5 and H70.

As you can tell, the 2 cameras have different resolutions and different sensor sizes. The Z5 with its bigger sensor will make getting shallow depth of field simpler and the Nikon Z5 will offer extra detail having an extra 8MP. Higher resolution will also allow you to crop shots a bit more aggressively. The newer Z5 is going to have an edge when it comes to sensor technology.
