The Z6 II was unveiled 7 years after the NEX-3N which is quite a sizable gap as far as technology is concerned. Each of the cameras feature different body design with the Nikon Z6 II being a SLR-style mirrorless camera and the Sony NEX-3N being a Rangefinder-style mirrorless camera.

Before going right into a in depth comparison, here is a quick highlight of how the Z6 II scores against the NEX-3N for portability, imaging, features and an overall mark.

Below is a sample of the gallery pictures for Nikon Z6 Mark II and Sony Alpha NEX-3N. The full galleries are available at Nikon Z6 II Gallery and Sony NEX-3N Gallery.

Quite often, it can be hard to picture the difference between sensor dimensions only by reading specifications. The image here will give you a greater sense of the sensor sizes in the Z6 II and NEX-3N.

Plainly, each of these cameras feature different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The Z6 II with its larger sensor is going to make achieving shallow depth of field simpler and the Nikon Z6 II will offer more detail having an extra 9 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also let you crop images way more aggressively. The fresher Z6 II should have an advantage in sensor technology.
