Canon SX270 HS vs Panasonic G100

Let's look closer at the Canon SX270 HS vs Panasonic G100, one is a Small Sensor Superzoom and the latter is a Entry-Level Mirrorless by competitors Canon and Panasonic. There exists a huge gap between the sensor resolutions of the SX270 HS (12MP) and G100 (20MP) and the SX270 HS (1/2.3") and G100 (Four Thirds) boast totally different sensor size.

The SX270 HS was introduced 8 years earlier than the G100 which is quite a significant gap as far as technology is concerned. The two cameras have different body design with the Canon SX270 HS being a Compact camera and the Panasonic G100 being a SLR-style mirrorless camera.

Before going right into a in depth comparison, here is a quick summation of how the SX270 HS scores against the G100 in the way of portability, imaging, features and an overall score.

If you're planning to carry around your camera often, you'll need to factor in its weight and measurements.

Bear in mind, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will differ based on the lens you have at that moment. Underneath is a front view over all size comparison of the SX270 HS compared to the G100.

Factoring in dimensions and weight, the portability score of the SX270 HS and G100 is 91 and 81 respectively.

Quite often, it's difficult to visualise the contrast between sensor sizes purely by going over specifications. The image underneath might offer you a clearer sense of the sensor sizing in the SX270 HS and G100.

Plainly, both of the cameras provide different resolutions and different sensor sizes. The SX270 HS using its tinier sensor will make shooting bokeh harder and the Panasonic G100 will offer extra detail using its extra 8 Megapixels. Higher resolution will help you crop photographs more aggressively. The more aged SX270 HS is going to be behind with regard to sensor tech.
