Nikon Z50 vs Sony TX100V Sensor Comparison
Quite often, it is very tough to see the contrast in sensor sizing just by going through specifications. The visual underneath should give you a clearer sense of the sensor sizing in the Z50 and TX100V.
Plainly, both of those cameras provide different resolutions and different sensor sizing. The Z50 having a bigger sensor will make achieving shallower depth of field easier and the Nikon Z50 will provide greater detail with its extra 5MP. Higher resolution can also make it easier to crop shots more aggressively. The younger Z50 will have an edge with regard to sensor technology.
