Plainly, both of the cameras have got different megapixels and different sensor measurements. The Z50 having a bigger sensor is going to make shooting shallower depth of field easier and the Nikon Z50 will render more detail having an extra 0.5 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also make it easier to crop shots much more aggressively. The fresher Z50 provides an edge when it comes to sensor innovation.
