Quite often, it can be tough to imagine the difference in sensor sizing purely by checking out technical specs. The graphic here will provide you a much better sense of the sensor sizes in the Z6 II and RX10 III.

As you have seen, both of the cameras have different resolutions and different sensor sizing. The Z6 II due to its bigger sensor is going to make getting shallow DOF easier and the Nikon Z6 II will show more detail as a result of its extra 5MP. Higher resolution will make it easier to crop pictures a bit more aggressively. The newer Z6 II provides an edge in sensor tech.
