Sometimes, it is very difficult to visualize the difference in sensor sizing only by checking out technical specs. The visual underneath might offer you a far better sense of the sensor sizes in the EX-S7 and GH2.

As you can tell, both of those cameras come with different megapixel count and different sensor sizing.

Greater resolution will let you crop photos a good deal more aggressively. The older EX-S7 will be disadvantaged in sensor technology.
