The Z6 will have less than a stop improvement over the Z50, both will be very good for low light. My Z6 runs circles around my D800 in low light but the D800 is no slouch for image quality, in fact excellent. Your AF-P 70-300 will work really well on either and it will focus with less motor chatter than AF-s lenses. But both both you will need the FTZ adaptor. If you wanted to spend a bit more, get the "kit" with Z6 with the excellent 24-70 f/4. Using the camera in FX with the 24-70 with superior optical quality an the 70-300 in DX mode for  longer reach, to 450mm eq.  OrZ50 with 2 lens kit(the Telephoto is better of the two) and eventually get one of the fast prime f/1.8  for those cases where IQ is to be optimum. Having at least one fast prime adds a lot of versatility to the kit. The 50 1.8 S on the Z50 will have the field of view of a 75mm so would be a great portrait lens. If you are not interested in portraits maybe the 35 1.8 or 20mm. If your subjects are wider, such as landscapes, or architecture, the Z6 would be better because there are few if any wide angle Dx lenses. For sports or birds, wildlife the Dx might be pretty impressive with the kit telephoto.  I prefer FX because much of my paid work is portraits, events and theater/ballet and it fits my lenses better. The shallower depth of field for any given focal length is a big plus for me.  If doing studio session shallow OF is not so important because I have full control of the background and usually use strobes of flash(even just walking around I has a flash mounted on my camera for fill on sunny days)Which camera depends on budget and future plans, and subject matter. Image quality will be great with either.  The Z6 like having a DX and a Fx sp your lenses would serve a wider range of subjects. The Z50 with both new lenses(you would want want the 16-50 Z lens but would need to add the FTZ to use your telephoto so you might be better off selling the telephoto and buying the kit tele and not get the FTZ.Your flash will work with either.  The off camera or shoe mounted flash you have will be more flexible than the built in popup flash. The popup is fine in a pinch and traveling light but anytime you can get the flash pointed off axis to the subject will be much better, using bounce or a diffuser.Do you post process RAW NEF files or do you shoot JPG?  If you use JPG most of the time, the Z50 might be better because it has more in-camera presets for effects, which are not used when shooting raw and post processing.</blockquote>
