More often than not, its hard to see the difference in sensor sizing simply by viewing a spec sheet. The visual here might give you a stronger sense of the sensor measurements in the Z7 II and G9.

As you can see, the two cameras posses different megapixel count and different sensor sizing. The Z7 II having a bigger sensor will make getting shallower DOF less difficult and the Nikon Z7 II will render greater detail having an extra 26MP. Higher resolution can also enable you to crop photographs somewhat more aggressively. The more modern Z7 II is going to have an edge in sensor technology.
