Canon R10 vs Panasonic G2

Here, we will be evaluating the Canon R10 and Panasonic G2, both Entry-Level Mirrorless cameras by manufacturers Canon and Panasonic. There exists a sizeable gap among the sensor resolutions of the R10 (24MP) and G2 (12MP) and the R10 (APS-C) and G2 (Four Thirds) boast totally different sensor sizes.

Photography Glossary

The R10 was unveiled 12 years after the G2 which is a fairly large gap as far as camera technology is concerned. Each of the cameras feature the same body design (SLR-style mirrorless).

Before going into a detailed comparison, here is a brief view of how the R10 matches up versus the G2 for portability, imaging, features and an overall score.

Here is a preview of the gallery images for Canon EOS R10 and Panasonic Lumix DMC-G2. The full galleries are provided at Canon R10 Gallery and Panasonic G2 Gallery.

For anybody who is going to carry around your camera frequently, you'll need to think about its weight and size.

Take into consideration, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will change based on the lens you are utilising at the time. Here is a front view measurement comparison of the R10 and the G2.

Taking into consideration dimensions and weight, the portability grade of the R10 and G2 is 69 and 72 respectively.

Typically, it can be difficult to visualise the contrast in sensor sizes just by seeing specifications. The picture below will help provide you a better sense of the sensor measurements in the R10 and G2.

Plainly, the two cameras feature different megapixel count and different sensor sizes. The R10 using its bigger sensor will make achieving shallow depth of field simpler and the Canon R10 will provide greater detail having an extra 12 Megapixels. Higher resolution will let you crop shots way more aggressively. The younger R10 will have an advantage with regard to sensor technology.
