Panasonic G100 vs Panasonic GF7 Sensor Comparison
Usually, it's hard to visualize the difference in sensor sizing merely by going through technical specs. The graphic underneath may give you a much better sense of the sensor dimensions in the G100 and GF7.
As you can tell, each of the cameras posses the exact same sensor measurements albeit different megapixels. You should count on the Panasonic G100 to provide more detail using its extra 4 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also enable you to crop shots somewhat more aggressively. The more modern G100 should have an edge when it comes to sensor innovation.
