Typically, it can be tough to picture the difference in sensor sizing just by checking out a spec sheet. The visual underneath will give you a better sense of the sensor sizing in the Z7 II and HX10V.

As you can see, both cameras posses different resolutions and different sensor sizing. The Z7 II using its bigger sensor is going to make getting shallower DOF easier and the Nikon Z7 II will show greater detail having an extra 28MP. Higher resolution will also allow you to crop photographs somewhat more aggressively. The younger Z7 II should have an advantage when it comes to sensor tech.
