Panasonic G9 vs Panasonic FH6

Below, we will be matching up the Panasonic G9 and Panasonic FH6, former being a Pro Mirrorless while the latter is a Small Sensor Compact and both are produced by Panasonic. There exists a considerable gap between the sensor resolutions of the G9 (20MP) and FH6 (14MP) and the G9 (Four Thirds) and FH6 (1/2.3") use different sensor sizing.

The G9 was unveiled 5 years later than the FH6 and that is quite a large difference as far as technology is concerned. Each of the cameras come with different body type with the Panasonic G9 being a SLR-style mirrorless camera and the Panasonic FH6 being a Compact camera.

Before we go through a in-depth comparison, below is a quick highlight of how the G9 scores vs the FH6 in the way of portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

This is a preview of the gallery photos for Panasonic Lumix DC-G9 & Panasonic Lumix DMC-FH6. The full galleries are available at Panasonic G9 Gallery & Panasonic FH6 Gallery.

When you are going to lug around your camera, you're going to have to consider its weight and volume. The Panasonic G9 provides exterior measurements of 137mm x 97mm x 92mm (5.4" x 3.8" x 3.6") along with a weight of 658 grams (1.45 lbs) while the Panasonic FH6 has sizing of 96mm x 56mm x 20mm (3.8" x 2.2" x 0.8") having a weight of 119 grams (0.26 lbs).

Take into consideration, the weight of an ILC will change depending on the lens you are utilising at that moment. Below is the front view over all size comparison of the G9 versus the FH6.

Considering dimensions and weight, the portability score of the G9 and FH6 is 62 and 96 respectively.

Normally, it can be difficult to imagine the gap between sensor measurements just by reviewing specifications. The photograph below might offer you a much better sense of the sensor measurements in the G9 and FH6.

To sum up, both of those cameras posses different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The G9 using its bigger sensor is going to make shooting bokeh less difficult and the Panasonic G9 will offer extra detail having an extra 6 Megapixels. Higher resolution will enable you to crop pictures somewhat more aggressively. The more recent G9 should have a benefit in sensor innovation.
