Canon R8 vs Panasonic G100

Lets look a little more closely at the Canon R8 and Panasonic G100, one being a Advanced Mirrorless and the other is a Entry-Level Mirrorless by brands Canon and Panasonic. The sensor resolution of the R8 (24MP) and the G100 (20MP) is very similar but the R8 (Full frame) and G100 (Four Thirds) have different sensor measurements.

The R8 was unveiled 2 years later than the G100 and that is quite a large gap as far as technology is concerned. Both of the cameras feature the same body design (SLR-style mirrorless).

Before delving right into a more detailed comparison, here is a brief highlight of how the R8 scores versus the G100 with respect to portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

Below is a sample of the gallery pics for Canon EOS R8 and Panasonic Lumix DC-G100. The full galleries are provided at Canon R8 Gallery and Panasonic G100 Gallery.

For anyone who is looking to lug around your camera, you'll have to factor its weight and proportions. The Canon R8 enjoys outside dimensions of 133mm x 86mm x 70mm (5.2" x 3.4" x 2.8") having a weight of 461 grams (1.02 lbs) while the Panasonic G100 has measurements of 116mm x 83mm x 54mm (4.6" x 3.3" x 2.1") along with a weight of 352 grams (0.78 lbs).

Always remember, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will change based on the lens you use during that time. Here is a front view proportions comparison of the R8 against the G100.

Taking into account dimensions and weight, the portability grade of the R8 and G100 is 71 and 81 respectively.

Quite often, it is difficult to visualize the contrast between sensor measurements just by reading specs. The photograph below will help give you a more clear sense of the sensor dimensions in the R8 and G100.

As you can plainly see, both of the cameras come with different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The R8 using its larger sensor is going to make getting shallower depth of field less difficult and the Canon R8 will deliver more detail having an extra 4MP. Greater resolution can also allow you to crop pics a good deal more aggressively. The fresher R8 should have a benefit with regard to sensor technology.
