As you have seen, both of the cameras offer different megapixel count and different sensor sizing. The Z7 having a bigger sensor is going to make achieving shallow depth of field less difficult and the Nikon Z7 will produce greater detail because of its extra 34 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also make it easier to crop photographs a little more aggressively. The more recent Z7 provides a benefit when it comes to sensor innovation.
