Panasonic G100 vs Panasonic GM5 Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Sometimes, it is tough to visualise the contrast between sensor sizing only by looking at specifications. The visual below might offer you a greater sense of the sensor sizing in the G100 and GM5.
Plainly, the two cameras provide the same sensor dimensions but not the same resolution. You should expect to see the Panasonic G100 to give greater detail having its extra 4MP. Greater resolution will allow you to crop photos more aggressively. The more recent G100 will have a benefit in sensor innovation.
