Usually, it can be difficult to visualise the gap in sensor measurements simply by researching technical specs. The visual here may provide you a greater sense of the sensor sizing in the Z7 II and I-10.

As you can tell, both of those cameras provide different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The Z7 II with its bigger sensor will make shooting shallower DOF simpler and the Nikon Z7 II will provide you with greater detail using its extra 34 Megapixels. Higher resolution will allow you to crop pictures more aggressively. The younger Z7 II is going to have a benefit when it comes to sensor tech.
