Olympus 7000 vs Panasonic G95 Sensor Comparison

Normally, its difficult to visualise the contrast in sensor sizing only by researching technical specs. The visual here will offer you a greater sense of the sensor dimensions in the 7000 and G95.

As you can tell, both the cameras have got different resolutions and different sensor sizing. The 7000 due to its smaller sensor will make getting shallow depth of field more difficult and the Panasonic G95 will provide you with greater detail due to its extra 8.3MP. Higher resolution will also make it easier to crop pictures much more aggressively. The older 7000 will be disadvantaged with regard to sensor tech.
