Olympus E-M1 II vs Panasonic G95 Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Typically, it's hard to picture the gap in sensor dimensions merely by checking out specifications. The picture here might give you a far better sense of the sensor sizes in the E-M1 II and G95.
To sum up, both of the cameras have the same sensor dimensions but different megapixels. You should anticipate the Panasonic G95 to provide greater detail because of its extra 0.3MP. Greater resolution will also make it easier to crop images a bit more aggressively. The more aged E-M1 II will be behind with regard to sensor innovation.
