To sum up, both the cameras have got different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The Z7 II having a larger sensor is going to make achieving shallower depth of field easier and the Nikon Z7 II will provide you with extra detail because of its extra 30 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also make it easier to crop photos much more aggressively. The more recent Z7 II should have an advantage with regard to sensor innovation.
