Clearly, the 2 cameras enjoy different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The Z50 having a larger sensor is going to make achieving shallower DOF easier and the Nikon Z50 will provide you with greater detail because of its extra 9 Megapixels. Greater resolution will enable you to crop images far more aggressively. The fresher Z50 should have a benefit with regard to sensor tech.
