Canon M6 MII vs Panasonic GX85 Sensor Comparison
Oftentimes, it is very tough to picture the difference between sensor sizing merely by reviewing a spec sheet. The visual below may offer you a far better sense of the sensor dimensions in the M6 MII and GX85.
As you can see, both of the cameras come with different resolutions and different sensor sizing. The M6 MII using its bigger sensor is going to make getting bokeh simpler and the Canon M6 MII will offer you extra detail using its extra 17 Megapixels. Higher resolution will enable you to crop pictures a good deal more aggressively. The newer M6 MII should have a benefit with regard to sensor tech.
