As you can tell, both of those cameras have different megapixels and different sensor sizes. The Z5 using its larger sensor is going to make getting shallower DOF simpler and the Nikon Z5 will produce greater detail because of its extra 12 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also enable you to crop photos a bit more aggressively. The newer Z5 provides a benefit with regard to sensor innovation.
