More often than not, it can be difficult to imagine the contrast between sensor measurements simply by going over a spec sheet. The photograph below will give you a better sense of the sensor sizes in the Z6 II and FZ200.

Clearly, both of those cameras posses different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The Z6 II featuring a larger sensor is going to make shooting shallow DOF less difficult and the Nikon Z6 II will offer extra detail as a result of its extra 13MP. Greater resolution will also make it easier to crop images somewhat more aggressively. The newer Z6 II should have a benefit when it comes to sensor innovation.
