As you can see, both the cameras have got different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The Z7 due to its larger sensor is going to make achieving shallow DOF simpler and the Nikon Z7 will deliver extra detail due to its extra 34 Megapixels. Greater resolution will enable you to crop images much more aggressively. The younger Z7 provides an edge with regard to sensor technology.
