Plainly, both of those cameras come with different megapixels and different sensor sizes. The Z50 having a bigger sensor will make shooting shallower depth of field simpler and the Nikon Z50 will result in extra detail using its extra 1 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also allow you to crop photographs a good deal more aggressively. The younger Z50 will have a benefit when it comes to sensor innovation.
