Canon 350D vs Panasonic GH4

Let's take a deeper look at the Canon 350D versus Panasonic GH4, one being a Entry-Level DSLR and the latter is a Pro Mirrorless by competitors Canon and Panasonic. There is a big difference between the sensor resolutions of the 350D (8MP) and GH4 (16MP) and the 350D (APS-C) and GH4 (Four Thirds) offer different sensor sizes.

The 350D was revealed 9 years prior to the GH4 and that is quite a big gap as far as tech is concerned. Each of these cameras have different body design with the Canon 350D being a Compact SLR camera and the Panasonic GH4 being a SLR-style mirrorless camera.

Before diving straight to a in-depth comparison, here is a brief highlight of how the 350D scores against the GH4 with regards to portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

The following is a preview of the gallery images for Canon EOS 350D and Panasonic Lumix DMC-GH4. The full galleries are provided at Canon 350D Gallery and Panasonic GH4 Gallery.

For anybody who is going to lug around your camera, you should consider its weight and dimensions.

Generally, it can be tough to picture the contrast between sensor measurements purely by reviewing technical specs. The visual here may offer you a greater sense of the sensor dimensions in the 350D and GH4.

As you have seen, the two cameras provide different megapixels and different sensor measurements. The 350D using its bigger sensor is going to make achieving shallower DOF simpler and the Panasonic GH4 will offer you extra detail because of its extra 8MP. Higher resolution will make it easier to crop pictures more aggressively. The older 350D is going to be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor innovation.
