Canon R100 vs Panasonic GH5 II

In this write-up, we will be evaluating the Canon R100 vs Panasonic GH5 II, one being a Entry-Level Mirrorless and the latter is a Pro Mirrorless by brands Canon and Panasonic. The image resolution of the R100 (24MP) and the GH5 II (20MP) is relatively similar but the R100 (APS-C) and GH5 II (Four Thirds) enjoy totally different sensor sizing.

The R100 was released 23 months later than the GH5 II which makes the cameras a generation apart from each other. Both of these cameras offer the identical body type (SLR-style mirrorless).

Before we go straight into a detailed comparison, below is a brief view of how the R100 scores versus the GH5 II for portability, imaging, features and an overall rating.

The following is a preview of the gallery photos for Canon EOS R100 and Panasonic Lumix DC-GH5 II. The complete galleries are available at Canon R100 Gallery and Panasonic GH5 II Gallery.

In case you're aiming to carry your camera, you will want to factor its weight and measurements.

In many cases, it is very difficult to visualise the gap between sensor sizing merely by going over a spec sheet. The photograph below should offer you a better sense of the sensor measurements in the R100 and GH5 II.

As you can see, both of these cameras offer different resolutions and different sensor sizing. The R100 because of its bigger sensor will make achieving shallow DOF simpler and the Canon R100 will offer you greater detail as a result of its extra 4MP. Higher resolution will let you crop shots a little more aggressively. The younger R100 is going to have an edge in sensor innovation.
