The Z5 was introduced 5 years after the G7 which is quite a serious difference as far as technology is concerned. The two cameras offer the identical body type (SLR-style mirrorless).

Before diving through a comprehensive comparison, below is a quick synopsis of how the Z5 grades against the G7 with regards to portability, imaging, features and an overall mark.

Following is a preview of the gallery photos for Nikon Z5 & Panasonic Lumix DMC-G7. The whole galleries are available at Nikon Z5 Gallery & Panasonic G7 Gallery.

Normally, it can be hard to picture the contrast between sensor dimensions only by looking at a spec sheet. The pic here should provide you a clearer sense of the sensor measurements in the Z5 and G7.

As you can see, both the cameras enjoy different resolutions and different sensor dimensions. The Z5 having a bigger sensor is going to make getting bokeh less difficult and the Nikon Z5 will give extra detail using its extra 8 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also help you crop shots far more aggressively. The fresher Z5 should have an advantage with regard to sensor technology.
