Panasonic G100 vs Samsung GX-10 Sensor Comparison

In many cases, it is very tough to picture the gap between sensor sizing merely by reviewing a spec sheet. The photograph here will offer you a more clear sense of the sensor sizes in the G100 and GX-10.

As you can see, both the cameras come with different megapixels and different sensor sizing. The G100 featuring a tinier sensor is going to make getting shallow depth of field more challenging and the Panasonic G100 will deliver more detail due to its extra 10 Megapixels. Higher resolution will allow you to crop pictures a good deal more aggressively. The fresher G100 should have an advantage when it comes to sensor technology.
