The Z6 II was introduced 5 years later than the E-M10 II and that is quite a large gap as far as technology is concerned. Both of the cameras come with the identical body type (SLR-style mirrorless).

Before getting straight into a comprehensive comparison, below is a concise synopsis of how the Z6 II grades against the E-M10 II when considering portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

Normally, it is very tough to imagine the gap between sensor measurements merely by checking specs. The graphic below will offer you a clearer sense of the sensor measurements in the Z6 II and E-M10 II.

All in all, each of the cameras posses different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The Z6 II having a larger sensor is going to make getting shallow depth of field easier and the Nikon Z6 II will resolve greater detail using its extra 9 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also help you crop photos somewhat more aggressively. The fresher Z6 II should have an advantage with regard to sensor technology.
