Panasonic G100 vs Panasonic GF8 Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
In many cases, it is difficult to envision the contrast between sensor dimensions just by reading a spec sheet. The image here will help provide you a clearer sense of the sensor sizes in the G100 and GF8.
As you can see, both of the cameras have got the exact same sensor measurements but not the same megapixels. You should anticipate the Panasonic G100 to offer more detail as a result of its extra 4MP. Greater resolution can also help you crop photos much more aggressively. The newer G100 will have an advantage in sensor technology.
