Canon R10 vs Panasonic GH2 Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Oftentimes, it is very hard to envision the gap in sensor sizing simply by seeing technical specs. The visual here will help provide you a more clear sense of the sensor sizing in the R10 and GH2.
As you have seen, the 2 cameras feature different resolutions and different sensor sizing. The R10 because of its larger sensor will make achieving shallow depth of field less difficult and the Canon R10 will provide extra detail as a result of its extra 8MP. Greater resolution will also enable you to crop pics way more aggressively. The more recent R10 will have an edge in sensor technology.
