Panasonic G100 vs Sony ZV-E10 Sensor Comparison

Normally, it is very tough to see the gap in sensor sizes purely by viewing a spec sheet. The image here might give you a more clear sense of the sensor dimensions in the G100 and ZV-E10.

Clearly, each of the cameras come with different megapixels and different sensor sizes. The G100 featuring a smaller sensor will make getting shallower DOF more difficult and the Sony ZV-E10 will render more detail due to its extra 4 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also make it easier to crop photographs a good deal more aggressively. The more aged G100 will be behind in sensor innovation.
