Below, we are looking at the Nikon Z6 II versus Sony A7R, both Pro Mirrorless cameras by manufacturers Nikon and Sony. There exists a sizeable gap among the image resolutions of the Z6 II (25MP) and A7R (36MP) but they feature the exact same sensor size (Full frame).

Photography Glossary

The Z6 II was brought out 6 years after the A7R which is a fairly large gap as far as camera technology is concerned. Each of these cameras come with the identical body type (SLR-style mirrorless).

Before diving in to a in depth comparison, below is a brief introduction of how the Z6 II matches up vs the A7R in the way of portability, imaging, features and an overall score.

The following is a sample of the gallery pics for Nikon Z6 Mark II and Sony Alpha A7R. The entire galleries are provided at Nikon Z6 II Gallery and Sony A7R Gallery.

In case you're planning to carry around your camera frequently, you will have to consider its weight and proportions.

Quite often, its tough to visualise the gap in sensor sizes purely by looking through technical specs. The pic below will provide you a more clear sense of the sensor dimensions in the Z6 II and A7R.

As you have seen, both of the cameras posses the exact same sensor measurements but not the same resolution. You should expect to see the Sony A7R to render greater detail having its extra 11 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also allow you to crop images somewhat more aggressively. The newer Z6 II is going to have a benefit when it comes to sensor technology.
