Nikon Z6 vs Panasonic S1H Sensor Comparison
Normally, it is difficult to visualise the contrast in sensor measurements merely by going through specifications. The visual underneath will provide you a much better sense of the sensor measurements in the Z6 and S1H.
Plainly, both of the cameras have the same sensor dimensions albeit not the same megapixels. You can expect the Nikon Z6 to provide greater detail as a result of its extra 1MP. Higher resolution will let you crop shots a bit more aggressively. The older Z6 will be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor innovation.
