Panasonic Lumix DC-S1R with Nikon Z7 Overview

The sensor resolution of Z7 is greater than that of Lumix DC-S1R. However, the difference of 1 MP is not very significant. The more megapixels the camera has, the more detailed and clear the picture will be. The number of megapixels will also affect the maximum size of the photos, which then can be printed without loss of quality.
