All in all, the 2 cameras come with different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The Z6 II due to its larger sensor is going to make shooting shallower DOF easier and the Nikon Z6 II will render more detail due to its extra 13 Megapixels. Greater resolution will make it easier to crop images a good deal more aggressively. The newer Z6 II provides an advantage in sensor innovation.
