Typically, its difficult to envision the difference in sensor measurements simply by seeing technical specs. The visual underneath will offer you a much better sense of the sensor sizes in the Z50 and FH25.

As you have seen, the two cameras come with different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The Z50 with its bigger sensor will make shooting shallower depth of field less difficult and the Nikon Z50 will provide more detail using its extra 5MP. Higher resolution can also make it easier to crop photographs a good deal more aggressively. The newer Z50 will have an edge in sensor technology.
