As you can tell, each of these cameras posses different resolutions and different sensor dimensions. The Z7 II having a bigger sensor will make shooting shallower DOF easier and the Nikon Z7 II will provide more detail using its extra 28 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also help you crop photographs somewhat more aggressively. The more modern Z7 II is going to have a benefit when it comes to sensor tech.
