Panasonic G100 vs Sony NEX-F3 Sensor Comparison
Oftentimes, its hard to imagine the contrast between sensor dimensions only by reading through technical specs. The image here should provide you a more clear sense of the sensor sizes in the G100 and NEX-F3.
As you can tell, both the cameras enjoy different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The G100 having a tinier sensor is going to make achieving shallower depth of field harder and the Panasonic G100 will resolve extra detail using its extra 4MP. Greater resolution will enable you to crop photos far more aggressively. The newer G100 should have an advantage with regard to sensor tech.
