To sum up, each of these cameras feature different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The Z50 having a larger sensor is going to make shooting bokeh less difficult and the Nikon Z50 will provide you with greater detail with its extra 9MP. Greater resolution can also allow you to crop images way more aggressively. The more recent Z50 should have an advantage in sensor tech.
