Sometimes, its tough to envision the gap in sensor dimensions just by going through technical specs. The picture here will provide you a more clear sense of the sensor measurements in the Z50 and HX100V.

As you have seen, the 2 cameras enjoy different megapixels and different sensor dimensions. The Z50 because of its bigger sensor will make shooting shallower depth of field less difficult and the Nikon Z50 will show greater detail having its extra 5 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also make it easier to crop photographs far more aggressively. The younger Z50 will have an advantage when it comes to sensor technology.
