Canon R vs Panasonic G2

The following is a extended comparison of the Canon R and Panasonic G2, one is a Pro Mirrorless and the latter is a Entry-Level Mirrorless by competitors Canon and Panasonic. There exists a significant gap among the sensor resolutions of the R (30MP) and G2 (12MP) and the R (Full frame) and G2 (Four Thirds) use totally different sensor dimensions.

The R was introduced 8 years after the G2 which is a fairly sizable gap as far as camera technology is concerned. Both cameras come with the identical body type (SLR-style mirrorless).

Before getting straight into a more detailed comparison, below is a simple overview of how the R scores against the G2 when considering portability, imaging, features and an overall mark.

Following is a preview of the gallery photos for Canon EOS R and Panasonic Lumix DMC-G2. The whole galleries are viewable at Canon R Gallery and Panasonic G2 Gallery.

In case you're aiming to travel with your camera often, you are going to need to consider its weight and measurements. The Canon R enjoys exterior measurements of 136mm x 98mm x 84mm (5.4" x 3.9" x 3.3") with a weight of 660 grams (1.46 lbs) whilst the Panasonic G2 has proportions of 124mm x 84mm x 74mm (4.9" x 3.3" x 2.9") accompanied by a weight of 428 grams (0.94 lbs).

Do not forget, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will change based on the lens you are working with at that moment. Following is the front view dimension comparison of the R versus the G2.

Taking into consideration dimensions and weight, the portability grade of the R and G2 is 62 and 72 respectively.

Normally, it can be difficult to see the gap in sensor dimensions purely by checking out specifications. The picture below will provide you a better sense of the sensor measurements in the R and G2.

To sum up, both of these cameras have got different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The R using its bigger sensor will make shooting shallower depth of field simpler and the Canon R will produce extra detail using its extra 18MP. Higher resolution can also allow you to crop pictures much more aggressively. The newer R will have a benefit when it comes to sensor tech.
