Panasonic G9 vs Samsung GX-20

Lets look a bit more in depth at the Panasonic G9 and Samsung GX-20, former is a Pro Mirrorless while the latter is a Advanced DSLR by companies Panasonic and Samsung. There exists a large gap among the sensor resolutions of the G9 (20MP) and GX-20 (15MP) and the G9 (Four Thirds) and GX-20 (APS-C) use totally different sensor dimensions.

The G9 was announced 9 years after the GX-20 which is a fairly serious difference as far as camera technology is concerned. Both of the cameras come with different body type with the Panasonic G9 being a SLR-style mirrorless camera and the Samsung GX-20 being a Mid-size SLR camera.

Before we go straight into a in-depth comparison, below is a short summation of how the G9 scores against the GX-20 in relation to portability, imaging, features and an overall mark.

If you're looking to travel with your camera frequently, you're going to have to take into account its weight and size.

Typically, it is very hard to visualise the gap in sensor dimensions purely by viewing a spec sheet. The picture here will help provide you a far better sense of the sensor sizes in the G9 and GX-20.

Clearly, each of the cameras posses different resolutions and different sensor dimensions. The G9 with its smaller sensor will make achieving shallower DOF harder and the Panasonic G9 will provide you with greater detail with its extra 5MP. Higher resolution will let you crop shots somewhat more aggressively. The younger G9 is going to have a benefit with regard to sensor technology.
