To sum up, the two cameras have got the exact same sensor measurements albeit not the same resolution. You should count on the Nikon Z50 to produce extra detail as a result of its extra 15 Megapixels. Higher resolution will help you crop photographs much more aggressively. The more modern Z50 will have an advantage when it comes to sensor tech.
