The Z50 was unveiled 4 years later than the TG-4 and that is quite a sizable gap as far as technology is concerned. Each of these cameras have different body design with the Nikon Z50 being a SLR-style mirrorless camera and the Olympus TG-4 being a Compact camera.

Before delving straight to a complete comparison, here is a short synopsis of how the Z50 matches up versus the TG-4 in the way of portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

Here is a preview of the gallery images for Nikon Z50 and Olympus Tough TG-4. The full galleries are provided at Nikon Z50 Gallery and Olympus TG-4 Gallery.

If you're going to lug around your camera regularly, you are going to need to factor its weight and dimensions.

Typically, it is difficult to imagine the contrast between sensor measurements merely by reviewing technical specs. The photograph underneath may provide you a more clear sense of the sensor dimensions in the Z50 and TG-4.

As you have seen, both of these cameras have different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The Z50 using its bigger sensor is going to make shooting shallow DOF easier and the Nikon Z50 will deliver extra detail having an extra 5 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also let you crop photographs a bit more aggressively. The more recent Z50 should have an advantage with regard to sensor technology.
