Panasonic G100 vs Sigma Quattro Sensor Comparison

In many cases, it can be difficult to imagine the gap in sensor sizing only by going through technical specs. The photograph here may provide you a more clear sense of the sensor measurements in the G100 and Quattro.

As you have seen, both of those cameras enjoy different resolutions and different sensor sizing. The G100 with its smaller sensor is going to make achieving shallower DOF trickier and the Sigma Quattro will provide more detail because of its extra 9MP. Greater resolution will also allow you to crop images far more aggressively. The more modern G100 provides an edge with regard to sensor tech.
