Panasonic G100 vs Panasonic S1 Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Generally, it is hard to envision the contrast between sensor measurements just by reading through technical specs. The visual below will help provide you a far better sense of the sensor sizes in the G100 and S1.
As you have seen, both of the cameras offer different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The G100 having a tinier sensor will make getting shallow depth of field trickier and the Panasonic S1 will give you extra detail having an extra 4 Megapixels. Greater resolution will let you crop images a little more aggressively. The newer G100 is going to have an edge when it comes to sensor technology.
