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.
