Sometimes, it is very difficult to see the difference in sensor dimensions simply by checking out a spec sheet. The picture underneath will offer you a stronger sense of the sensor measurements in the Z7 II and NEX-3N.

As you can see, both of these cameras posses different resolutions and different sensor dimensions. The Z7 II featuring a bigger sensor will make achieving shallower DOF less difficult and the Nikon Z7 II will provide more detail having its extra 30 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also let you crop photographs somewhat more aggressively. The younger Z7 II is going to have an edge when it comes to sensor tech.
