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.
