Nikon Z8 vs Panasonic G100 Sensor Comparison

          

          

            
Normally, it can be hard to visualize the gap between sensor dimensions just by reviewing technical specs. The picture underneath will help offer you a far better sense of the sensor dimensions in the Z8 and G100.
As you can tell, both the cameras offer different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The Z8 because of its bigger sensor is going to make achieving shallow DOF less difficult and the Nikon Z8 will deliver greater detail having its extra 26MP. Higher resolution will allow you to crop photographs a little more aggressively. The more modern Z8 provides a benefit with regard to sensor tech.
