Normally, it is very tough to see the gap in sensor measurements simply by looking through a spec sheet. The visual here may give you a clearer sense of the sensor dimensions in the Z7 II and RZ10.

Clearly, both of the cameras enjoy different megapixels and different sensor measurements. The Z7 II using its bigger sensor will make getting shallower DOF simpler and the Nikon Z7 II will render greater detail with its extra 32MP. Higher resolution can also make it easier to crop shots far more aggressively. The more recent Z7 II is going to have a benefit when it comes to sensor technology.
