Panasonic G100 vs Sony RX10 IV

Here, we are contrasting the Panasonic G100 and Sony RX10 IV, one being a Entry-Level Mirrorless and the other is a Large Sensor Superzoom by brands Panasonic and Sony. The image resolution of the G100 (20MP) and the RX10 IV (20MP) is very well matched but the G100 (Four Thirds) and RX10 IV (1") provide different sensor sizes.

The G100 was announced 2 years later than the RX10 IV and that is quite a large gap as far as technology is concerned. The two cameras feature different body design with the Panasonic G100 being a SLR-style mirrorless camera and the Sony RX10 IV being a SLR-like (bridge) camera.

Before delving into a in-depth comparison, here is a quick view of how the G100 grades vs the RX10 IV with respect to portability, imaging, features and an overall rating.

Here is a sample of the gallery pics for Panasonic Lumix DC-G100 and Sony Cyber-shot DSC-RX10 IV. The whole galleries are viewable at Panasonic G100 Gallery and Sony RX10 IV Gallery.

When you are looking to carry your camera, you will want to consider its weight and proportions. The Panasonic G100 provides outside measurements of 116mm x 83mm x 54mm (4.6" x 3.3" x 2.1") having a weight of 352 grams (0.78 lbs) and the Sony RX10 IV has measurements of 133mm x 94mm x 145mm (5.2" x 3.7" x 5.7") having a weight of 1095 grams (2.41 lbs).

Take a look at the Panasonic G100 and Sony RX10 IV in the new Camera with Lens Size Comparison Tool.

Bear in mind, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will change depending on the lens you have chosen during that time. Following is a front view physical size comparison of the G100 against the RX10 IV.

Taking into account dimensions and weight, the portability score of the G100 and RX10 IV is 81 and 52 respectively.

More often than not, its hard to picture the gap between sensor sizing simply by looking at specs. The photograph here should provide you a much better sense of the sensor measurements in the G100 and RX10 IV.

All in all, both the cameras come with the identical megapixels but different sensor sizing. The G100 features the larger sensor which should make achieving shallow DOF simpler. The newer G100 should have an edge when it comes to sensor innovation.
