The Z7 was manufactured 3 years before the a1 which is quite a large gap as far as technology is concerned. Both the cameras feature the same body design (SLR-style mirrorless).

Before diving right into a in depth comparison, here is a short synopsis of how the Z7 scores against the a1 with respect to portability, imaging, features and an overall mark.

Here is a sample of the gallery pictures for Nikon Z7 and Sony Alpha a1. The entire galleries are provided at Nikon Z7 Gallery and Sony a1 Gallery.

For those who are planning to travel with your camera, you'll have to take into account its weight and measurements.

Typically, it's tough to envision the difference between sensor dimensions simply by going over technical specs. The image here should provide you a far better sense of the sensor sizing in the Z7 and a1.

As you can tell, both of the cameras feature the identical sensor size but not the same resolution. You should anticipate the Sony a1 to deliver extra detail due to its extra 4 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also enable you to crop images way more aggressively. The more aged Z7 is going to be behind in sensor innovation.
