Typically, it is very difficult to picture the gap between sensor measurements merely by reading through a spec sheet. The photograph below will help give you a clearer sense of the sensor sizes in the Z6 II and A7S II.

As you can see, both of the cameras enjoy the same exact sensor sizing but different resolution. You should anticipate the Nikon Z6 II to give you extra detail because of its extra 13 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also let you crop pics far more aggressively. The more modern Z6 II provides an advantage in sensor tech.
