Normally, it's difficult to imagine the gap in sensor sizes purely by going through specs. The pic below may give you a greater sense of the sensor dimensions in the Z50 and E-M10 II.

All in all, both of the cameras enjoy different megapixels and different sensor sizes. The Z50 featuring a bigger sensor is going to make shooting bokeh less difficult and the Nikon Z50 will provide greater detail as a result of its extra 5 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also help you crop pictures far more aggressively. The newer Z50 should have an advantage with regard to sensor tech.
