Below is a extended assessment of the Panasonic G9 versus Panasonic G3, one being a Pro Mirrorless and the latter is a Entry-Level Mirrorless and both are offered by Panasonic. There exists a huge gap between the sensor resolutions of the G9 (20MP) and G3 (16MP) but both cameras posses the same sensor sizing (Four Thirds).

The G9 was announced 6 years later than the G3 and that is quite a significant gap as far as technology is concerned. Both the cameras have the same body design (SLR-style mirrorless).

Before going right into a in-depth comparison, here is a brief view of how the G9 matches up versus the G3 in relation to portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

Following is a preview of the gallery photos for Panasonic Lumix DC-G9 and Panasonic Lumix DMC-G3. The whole galleries are provided at Panasonic G9 Gallery and Panasonic G3 Gallery.

If you are intending to lug around your camera regularly, you will need to factor in its weight and volume. The Panasonic G9 has got external dimensions of 137mm x 97mm x 92mm (5.4" x 3.8" x 3.6") with a weight of 658 grams (1.45 lbs) while the Panasonic G3 has sizing of 115mm x 84mm x 47mm (4.5" x 3.3" x 1.9") with a weight of 336 grams (0.74 lbs).

More often than not, its difficult to see the difference between sensor measurements just by reading specifications. The graphic here might give you a clearer sense of the sensor dimensions in the G9 and G3.

To sum up, both cameras provide the same sensor dimensions albeit not the same MP. You should count on the Panasonic G9 to deliver greater detail with its extra 4MP. Higher resolution can also help you crop pictures more aggressively. The younger G9 will have a benefit when it comes to sensor technology.
