Nikon Z8 vs Panasonic G9

Here, we are evaluating the Nikon Z8 vs Panasonic G9, both Pro Mirrorless cameras by manufacturers Nikon and Panasonic. There exists a big gap among the image resolutions of the Z8 (46MP) and G9 (20MP) and the Z8 (Full frame) and G9 (Four Thirds) provide different sensor dimensions.

The Z8 was announced 5 years later than the G9 and that is a fairly big gap as far as camera technology is concerned. Both of these cameras feature the same body design (SLR-style mirrorless).

Before diving straight to a in depth comparison, here is a short view of how the Z8 matches up versus the G9 in the way of portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

Here is a sample of the gallery pics for Nikon Z8 and Panasonic Lumix DC-G9. The whole galleries are available at Nikon Z8 Gallery and Panasonic G9 Gallery.

If you are going to lug around your camera often, you have to think about its weight and dimensions. The Nikon Z8 enjoys outer measurements of 144mm x 119mm x 83mm (5.7" x 4.7" x 3.3") with a weight of 910 grams (2.01 lbs) and the Panasonic G9 has dimensions of 137mm x 97mm x 92mm (5.4" x 3.8" x 3.6") having a weight of 658 grams (1.45 lbs).

Always remember, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will change dependant on the lens you are utilising at the time. Below is a front view dimension comparison of the Z8 versus the G9.

Taking into consideration dimensions and weight, the portability score of the Z8 and G9 is 55 and 62 respectively.

Typically, it's tough to picture the difference in sensor measurements just by researching specifications. The visual here should give you a clearer sense of the sensor measurements in the Z8 and G9.

Plainly, each of the cameras come with different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The Z8 having a larger sensor is going to make getting shallow depth of field simpler and the Nikon Z8 will result in greater detail with its extra 26MP. Greater resolution can also let you crop photos a good deal more aggressively. The more modern Z8 should have an advantage with regard to sensor innovation.
