Usually, it is tough to imagine the gap in sensor sizes just by seeing a spec sheet. The picture here should offer you a more clear sense of the sensor dimensions in the Z50 and G3.

Clearly, both the cameras come with different megapixel count and different sensor sizes. The Z50 featuring a larger sensor is going to make shooting bokeh simpler and the Nikon Z50 will produce extra detail due to its extra 5MP. Greater resolution can also make it easier to crop images a good deal more aggressively. The fresher Z50 should have an edge when it comes to sensor innovation.
