The Z50 was unveiled 5 years after the A7 which is a fairly serious gap as far as camera technology is concerned. Both of these cameras have the same body design (SLR-style mirrorless).

Before delving right into a in-depth comparison, here is a quick overview of how the Z50 scores against the A7 when it comes to portability, imaging, features and an overall mark.

The following is a sample of the gallery pics for Nikon Z50 and Sony Alpha A7. The full galleries are provided at Nikon Z50 Gallery and Sony A7 Gallery.

More often than not, its difficult to see the contrast in sensor dimensions simply by seeing a spec sheet. The pic below may give you a greater sense of the sensor sizing in the Z50 and A7.

As you can see, both of the cameras have different resolutions and different sensor dimensions. The Z50 using its smaller sensor will make achieving bokeh more difficult and the Sony A7 will show greater detail having an extra 3 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also enable you to crop photos a bit more aggressively. The more recent Z50 is going to have a benefit with regard to sensor technology.
