All in all, each of these cameras have got different megapixel count and different sensor sizes. The Z6 due to its larger sensor will make achieving shallower depth of field less difficult and the Nikon Z6 will produce extra detail as a result of its extra 9 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also enable you to crop images much more aggressively. The younger Z6 is going to have an edge in sensor technology.
