Clearly, both the cameras come with different megapixel count and different sensor sizes. The Z7 II featuring a bigger sensor is going to make getting shallow DOF less difficult and the Nikon Z7 II will show extra detail as a result of its extra 26 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also make it easier to crop shots a good deal more aggressively. The more recent Z7 II should have an advantage with regard to sensor tech.
