Panasonic G100 vs Panasonic G10 Sensor Comparison

Usually, it can be difficult to visualise the gap in sensor dimensions merely by seeing specifications. The pic underneath might provide you a much better sense of the sensor sizing in the G100 and G10.

To sum up, each of the cameras provide the same sensor dimensions albeit not the same megapixels. You should expect the Panasonic G100 to show greater detail due to its extra 8 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also allow you to crop shots more aggressively. The younger G100 will have an edge when it comes to sensor innovation.
