Nikon Z50 vs Panasonic G6

Here, we will be analyzing the Nikon Z50 vs Panasonic G6, both Entry-Level Mirrorless cameras by competitors Nikon and Panasonic. There exists a significant gap among the sensor resolutions of the Z50 (21MP) and G6 (16MP) and the Z50 (APS-C) and G6 (Four Thirds) boast different sensor measurements.

The Z50 was introduced 6 years later than the G6 and that is a fairly sizable gap as far as camera technology is concerned. Each of the cameras feature the same body design (SLR-style mirrorless).

Before diving into a step-by-step comparison, here is a brief synopsis of how the Z50 grades against the G6 for portability, imaging, features and an overall rating.

The following is a preview of the gallery images for Nikon Z50 and Panasonic Lumix DMC-G6. The whole galleries are provided at Nikon Z50 Gallery and Panasonic G6 Gallery.

If you are aiming to carry your camera often, you'll need to think about its weight and measurements. The Nikon Z50 comes with outside dimensions of 127mm x 94mm x 60mm (5.0" x 3.7" x 2.4") with a weight of 397 grams (0.88 lbs) and the Panasonic G6 has proportions of 122mm x 85mm x 71mm (4.8" x 3.3" x 2.8") accompanied by a weight of 390 grams (0.86 lbs).

Remember that, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will change depending on the lens you have chosen at the time. The following is a front view proportions comparison of the Z50 vs the G6.

Factoring in dimensions and weight, the portability score of the Z50 and G6 is 74 and 74 respectively.

Quite often, it can be difficult to picture the gap in sensor sizing merely by seeing a spec sheet. The photograph underneath should provide you a more clear sense of the sensor sizes in the Z50 and G6.

Clearly, both of those cameras feature different megapixel count and different sensor sizing. The Z50 having a bigger sensor is going to make getting shallow depth of field easier and the Nikon Z50 will show more detail using its extra 5 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also help you crop shots way more aggressively. The younger Z50 should have an edge in sensor technology.
