Before getting straight to a more detailed comparison, here is a brief overview of how the Z7 II grades versus the E-PL1s with respect to portability, imaging, features and an overall mark.

Normally, it can be hard to see the difference in sensor dimensions merely by going through specifications. The image underneath might provide you a greater sense of the sensor sizes in the Z7 II and E-PL1s.

Plainly, each of the cameras provide different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The Z7 II having a bigger sensor will make achieving shallower depth of field less difficult and the Nikon Z7 II will produce more detail with its extra 34MP. Higher resolution will also allow you to crop pictures more aggressively. The newer Z7 II is going to have an edge when it comes to sensor innovation.
