Sometimes, it's hard to visualise the contrast between sensor measurements simply by reviewing technical specs. The graphic here will help provide you a clearer sense of the sensor measurements in the Z7 II and ZS10.

As you can tell, both cameras feature different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The Z7 II because of its larger sensor will make shooting shallower DOF less difficult and the Nikon Z7 II will deliver greater detail due to its extra 32 Megapixels. Greater resolution will enable you to crop photos way more aggressively. The newer Z7 II will have a benefit in sensor innovation.
