All in all, each of the cameras have got the exact same sensor measurements albeit different megapixels. You can count on the Panasonic S1R to provide you with more detail with its extra 22MP. Higher resolution will let you crop photographs much more aggressively. The younger Z6 II should have an edge when it comes to sensor tech.
