All in all, the 2 cameras have got different resolutions and different sensor sizing. The Z6 II because of its bigger sensor is going to make shooting shallow DOF easier and the Nikon Z6 II will give greater detail having its extra 9MP. Higher resolution can also make it easier to crop shots much more aggressively. The more recent Z6 II should have an edge with regard to sensor technology.
