Nikon Z5 vs Panasonic G10

Lets take a more detailed look at the Nikon Z5 and Panasonic G10, one being a Advanced Mirrorless and the latter is a Entry-Level Mirrorless by companies Nikon and Panasonic. There exists a huge gap between the resolutions of the Z5 (24MP) and G10 (12MP) and the Z5 (Full frame) and G10 (Four Thirds) offer different sensor sizing.

The Z5 was brought out 10 years later than the G10 and that is quite a significant gap as far as technology is concerned. Each of the cameras feature the same body design (SLR-style mirrorless).

Before we go into a step-by-step comparison, here is a brief summation of how the Z5 grades versus the G10 with respect to portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

This is a preview of the gallery photos for Nikon Z5 and Panasonic Lumix DMC-G10. The entire galleries are available at Nikon Z5 Gallery and Panasonic G10 Gallery.

When you are aiming to lug around your camera, you need to take into account its weight and volume. The Nikon Z5 has got physical measurements of 134mm x 101mm x 70mm (5.3" x 4.0" x 2.8") and a weight of 675 grams (1.49 lbs) while the Panasonic G10 has sizing of 124mm x 90mm x 74mm (4.9" x 3.5" x 2.9") having a weight of 388 grams (0.86 lbs).

Do not forget, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will change depending on the lens you have during that time. The following is a front view sizing comparison of the Z5 compared to the G10.

Taking into consideration dimensions and weight, the portability score of the Z5 and G10 is 62 and 72 respectively.

Normally, it's difficult to visualize the gap between sensor measurements only by going over a spec sheet. The photograph here will give you a clearer sense of the sensor measurements in the Z5 and G10.

Clearly, each of these cameras feature different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The Z5 because of its bigger sensor is going to make shooting shallower DOF simpler and the Nikon Z5 will offer you greater detail having its extra 12MP. Higher resolution can also enable you to crop shots way more aggressively. The more recent Z5 provides a benefit in sensor technology.
