Panasonic G100 vs Panasonic GH3

Here, we will be reviewing the Panasonic G100 and Panasonic GH3, former is a Entry-Level Mirrorless while the latter is a Advanced Mirrorless and both of them are built by Panasonic. There exists a large gap among the sensor resolutions of the G100 (20MP) and GH3 (16MP) but both cameras provide the identical sensor measurements (Four Thirds).

Photography Glossary

The G100 was released 7 years after the GH3 which is a fairly serious difference as far as camera technology is concerned. Both of these cameras feature the same body design (SLR-style mirrorless).

Before we go into a in-depth comparison, here is a short synopsis of how the G100 grades versus the GH3 with regard to portability, imaging, features and an overall mark.

Below is a preview of the gallery photos for Panasonic Lumix DC-G100 & Panasonic Lumix DMC-GH3. The complete galleries are viewable at Panasonic G100 Gallery & Panasonic GH3 Gallery.

For anyone who is aiming to travel with your camera often, you will have to factor in its weight and proportions. The Panasonic G100 has physical dimensions of 116mm x 83mm x 54mm (4.6" x 3.3" x 2.1") accompanied by a weight of 352 grams (0.78 lbs) while the Panasonic GH3 has measurements of 133mm x 93mm x 82mm (5.2" x 3.7" x 3.2") along with a weight of 550 grams (1.21 lbs).

Take into account, the weight of an ILC will vary based on the lens you select at that moment. The following is a front view size comparison of the G100 against the GH3.

Using dimensions and weight, the portability grade of the G100 and GH3 is 81 and 66 respectively.

More often than not, it can be difficult to envision the gap in sensor dimensions merely by viewing specs. The pic below will offer you a far better sense of the sensor dimensions in the G100 and GH3.

All in all, both of these cameras come with the identical sensor size albeit not the same resolution. You can count on the Panasonic G100 to provide you with greater detail as a result of its extra 4 Megapixels. Higher resolution will make it easier to crop photographs a good deal more aggressively. The younger G100 will have an advantage with regard to sensor tech.
