In many cases, it is very hard to picture the difference between sensor dimensions only by going over specifications. The image here should offer you a more clear sense of the sensor measurements in the Z6 and A7 II.

Plainly, both of the cameras have the same sensor dimensions albeit different megapixels. You should expect the Nikon Z6 to deliver more detail because of its extra 1 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also allow you to crop photographs a bit more aggressively. The fresher Z6 should have an edge when it comes to sensor tech.
