Canon M6 MII vs Panasonic GH2

Let's examine more closely at the Canon M6 MII versus Panasonic GH2, both Advanced Mirrorless digital cameras by manufacturers Canon and Panasonic. There exists a crucial gap between the sensor resolutions of the M6 MII (33MP) and GH2 (16MP) and the M6 MII (APS-C) and GH2 (Four Thirds) use different sensor sizing.

The M6 MII was brought out 8 years later than the GH2 and that is quite a serious gap as far as technology is concerned. Each of the cameras offer different body type with the Canon M6 MII being a Rangefinder-style mirrorless camera and the Panasonic GH2 being a SLR-style mirrorless camera.

Before delving in to a complete comparison, below is a quick summary of how the M6 MII matches up versus the GH2 with respect to portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

Always remember, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will differ based on the lens you are utilizing at that time. Following is the front view size comparison of the M6 MII against the GH2.

Taking into consideration dimensions and weight, the portability rating of the M6 MII and GH2 is 83 and 70 respectively.

Sometimes, it's tough to picture the gap between sensor measurements merely by reading through a spec sheet. The graphic below should offer you a clearer sense of the sensor measurements in the M6 MII and GH2.

Clearly, the two cameras offer different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The M6 MII due to its bigger sensor is going to make getting shallower depth of field less difficult and the Canon M6 MII will give more detail having its extra 17MP. Higher resolution will also make it easier to crop pictures a little more aggressively. The more modern M6 MII should have an edge when it comes to sensor tech.
