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.
