Clearly, both of those cameras provide different resolutions and different sensor sizes. The Z50 featuring a bigger sensor is going to make shooting shallow depth of field less difficult and the Nikon Z50 will produce more detail as a result of its extra 9 Megapixels. Higher resolution will let you crop pictures more aggressively. The newer Z50 should have an advantage in sensor tech.
