The Z50 was released 6 years later than the GF6 and that is a fairly large difference as far as camera technology is concerned. Each of these cameras have different body design with the Nikon Z50 being a SLR-style mirrorless camera and the Panasonic GF6 being a Rangefinder-style mirrorless camera.

Before getting right into a full comparison, here is a short introduction of how the Z50 matches up against the GF6 in terms of portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

Sometimes, it's tough to imagine the difference in sensor measurements only by seeing technical specs. The graphic here will provide you a far better sense of the sensor sizes in the Z50 and GF6.

As you can tell, the two cameras provide different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The Z50 because of its larger sensor is going to make achieving bokeh less difficult and the Nikon Z50 will produce extra detail as a result of its extra 5MP. Greater resolution will allow you to crop pics more aggressively. The younger Z50 should have a benefit when it comes to sensor technology.
