The Z7 II was introduced 8 years later than the NEX-F3 and that is a fairly large difference as far as camera technology is concerned. Both of the cameras have different body design with the Nikon Z7 II being a SLR-style mirrorless camera and the Sony NEX-F3 being a Rangefinder-style mirrorless camera.

Before getting into a full comparison, here is a quick overview of how the Z7 II matches up vs the NEX-F3 when considering portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

Normally, it is hard to imagine the gap in sensor measurements simply by checking out a spec sheet. The visual here may give you a stronger sense of the sensor sizing in the Z7 II and NEX-F3.

Clearly, the two cameras provide different megapixels and different sensor measurements. The Z7 II using its larger sensor is going to make achieving shallow DOF simpler and the Nikon Z7 II will show more detail using its extra 30 Megapixels. Greater resolution will make it easier to crop images more aggressively. The younger Z7 II provides an edge in sensor innovation.
