Plainly, each of the cameras provide the same sensor dimensions albeit not the same megapixels. You should expect the Nikon Z50 to give you extra detail using its extra 15MP. Higher resolution will also let you crop pictures more aggressively. The newer Z50 will have an edge with regard to sensor tech.
