Panasonic G100 vs Sony T99 Sensor Comparison

Oftentimes, it is very tough to see the contrast in sensor sizes just by seeing specifications. The pic here might give you a far better sense of the sensor sizing in the G100 and T99.

Plainly, both of these cameras posses different megapixels and different sensor sizes. The G100 because of its larger sensor will make achieving shallow depth of field simpler and the Panasonic G100 will produce greater detail as a result of its extra 6 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also help you crop pics somewhat more aggressively. The newer G100 is going to have a benefit when it comes to sensor technology.
