The Z7 was revealed 5 years later than the QX10 and that is quite a significant difference as far as technology is concerned. Both of these cameras offer different body type with the Nikon Z7 being a SLR-style mirrorless camera and the Sony QX10 being a Lens-style camera.

Before going through a in-depth comparison, below is a short synopsis of how the Z7 grades versus the QX10 when it comes to portability, imaging, features and an overall rating.

The following is a sample of the gallery pics for Nikon Z7 & Sony Cyber-shot DSC-QX10. The full galleries are viewable at Nikon Z7 Gallery & Sony QX10 Gallery.

Normally, it is very difficult to imagine the gap between sensor sizing purely by reviewing a spec sheet. The graphic here will provide you a clearer sense of the sensor measurements in the Z7 and QX10.

As you can see, both the cameras enjoy different resolutions and different sensor sizing. The Z7 using its larger sensor is going to make achieving bokeh easier and the Nikon Z7 will offer you greater detail because of its extra 28 Megapixels. Greater resolution will help you crop photos far more aggressively. The more recent Z7 should have an edge in sensor technology.
