Nikon Z6 vs Panasonic G95 Sensor Comparison

Sometimes, it can be tough to imagine the contrast between sensor sizes purely by reviewing a spec sheet. The picture underneath will offer you a clearer sense of the sensor sizes in the Z6 and G95.

Clearly, both cameras have different megapixel count and different sensor sizes. The Z6 because of its larger sensor is going to make getting shallow DOF less difficult and the Nikon Z6 will offer extra detail due to its extra 4.7MP. Greater resolution can also let you crop pics a bit more aggressively. The more aged Z6 is going to be behind in sensor innovation.
