Panasonic G100 vs Panasonic S1H Sensor Comparison

Quite often, it is very hard to picture the gap between sensor measurements purely by checking technical specs. The photograph below should provide you a better sense of the sensor dimensions in the G100 and S1H.

As you can tell, each of the cameras posses different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The G100 with its tinier sensor is going to make getting shallow DOF trickier and the Panasonic S1H will give greater detail having an extra 4MP. Greater resolution will also enable you to crop photos somewhat more aggressively. The more modern G100 provides a benefit in sensor innovation.
