Nikon Z7 II vs Panasonic G10 Sensor Comparison

Normally, it is very difficult to imagine the difference in sensor dimensions purely by researching a spec sheet. The picture below should offer you a more clear sense of the sensor dimensions in the Z7 II and G10.

Clearly, each of the cameras posses different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The Z7 II using its larger sensor is going to make getting bokeh simpler and the Nikon Z7 II will result in more detail using its extra 34 Megapixels. Greater resolution will enable you to crop photos somewhat more aggressively. The fresher Z7 II should have an advantage in sensor innovation.
