For anybody who is looking to travel with your camera often, you are going to need to factor its weight and proportions.

Often, its hard to visualise the difference between sensor dimensions only by looking at specifications. The image below will provide you a clearer sense of the sensor measurements in the Z6 II and S1.

To sum up, both of those cameras have the same sensor dimensions albeit not the same MP. You should count on the Nikon Z6 II to resolve greater detail using its extra 1MP. Higher resolution will allow you to crop pictures a bit more aggressively. The newer Z6 II is going to have a benefit in sensor tech.
