As you can tell, the 2 cameras posses different megapixels and different sensor dimensions. The Z7 II with its bigger sensor is going to make shooting shallower DOF easier and the Nikon Z7 II will produce more detail with its extra 30MP. Higher resolution can also let you crop photographs somewhat more aggressively. The more modern Z7 II provides an advantage when it comes to sensor tech.
