Normally, it can be tough to envision the contrast between sensor sizing just by reading technical specs. The photograph underneath might offer you a more clear sense of the sensor measurements in the Z50 and FP8.

As you have seen, both of those cameras enjoy different megapixels and different sensor sizing. The Z50 having a larger sensor will make shooting shallower depth of field less difficult and the Nikon Z50 will offer more detail with its extra 9 Megapixels. Greater resolution will allow you to crop images far more aggressively. The more modern Z50 will have a benefit with regard to sensor technology.
