Usually, it is very hard to picture the contrast in sensor measurements purely by seeing a spec sheet. The graphic underneath will help give you a greater sense of the sensor sizing in the Z5 and HX200V.

Clearly, both of these cameras come with different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The Z5 with its bigger sensor is going to make getting shallow depth of field simpler and the Nikon Z5 will provide extra detail having an extra 6MP. Higher resolution will make it easier to crop pictures a good deal more aggressively. The newer Z5 should have a benefit in sensor tech.
