Panasonic G100 vs Sony A77 II Sensor Comparison

To sum up, both of the cameras enjoy different megapixels and different sensor sizing. The G100 with its tinier sensor is going to make getting shallower DOF more challenging and the Sony A77 II will resolve greater detail with its extra 4 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also let you crop pics far more aggressively. The fresher G100 provides an advantage in sensor innovation.
