Panasonic G100 vs Sony A68 Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Usually, its difficult to envision the difference in sensor sizes simply by looking through a spec sheet. The picture below might offer you a much better sense of the sensor measurements in the G100 and A68.
Clearly, both the cameras enjoy different megapixels and different sensor sizes. The G100 because of its smaller sensor will make shooting shallow DOF tougher and the Sony A68 will result in greater detail utilizing its extra 4 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also let you crop photographs far more aggressively. The more modern G100 is going to have a benefit in sensor tech.
