Nikon D2X vs Panasonic G9

Here, we will be looking at the Nikon D2X and Panasonic G9, one being a Pro DSLR and the latter is a Pro Mirrorless by manufacturers Nikon and Panasonic. There exists a sizeable gap between the image resolutions of the D2X (12MP) and G9 (20MP) and the D2X (APS-C) and G9 (Four Thirds) provide different sensor dimensions.

The D2X was introduced 13 years prior to the G9 and that is quite a large gap as far as technology is concerned. The two cameras feature different body design with the Nikon D2X being a Large SLR camera and the Panasonic G9 being a SLR-style mirrorless camera.

Before we go right into a in depth comparison, here is a simple summation of how the D2X matches up versus the G9 when it comes to portability, imaging, features and an overall rating.

The following is a preview of the gallery images for Nikon D2X and Panasonic Lumix DC-G9. The whole galleries are available at Nikon D2X Gallery and Panasonic G9 Gallery.

For anyone who is looking to carry your camera, you'll have to factor its weight and volume. The Nikon D2X features exterior measurements of 158mm x 150mm x 86mm (6.2" x 5.9" x 3.4") accompanied by a weight of 1200 grams (2.65 lbs) whilst the Panasonic G9 has sizing of 137mm x 97mm x 92mm (5.4" x 3.8" x 3.6") with a weight of 658 grams (1.45 lbs).

Remember that, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will differ dependant on the lens you are utilising at the time. Underneath is a front view size comparison of the D2X versus the G9.

Using dimensions and weight, the portability score of the D2X and G9 is 51 and 62 respectively.

Quite often, it's difficult to picture the contrast between sensor sizing only by checking specs. The graphic below will offer you a clearer sense of the sensor measurements in the D2X and G9.

All in all, both the cameras come with different megapixel count and different sensor sizing. The D2X having a bigger sensor is going to make shooting shallow depth of field easier and the Panasonic G9 will give you greater detail using its extra 8 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also enable you to crop photographs a good deal more aggressively. The older D2X is going to be behind in sensor innovation.
