Panasonic GH5S vs Panasonic S1R

Here, we will be analyzing the Panasonic GH5S versus Panasonic S1R, both Pro Mirrorless cameras and both of them are built by Panasonic. There exists a considerable gap among the sensor resolutions of the GH5S (10MP) and S1R (47MP) and the GH5S (Four Thirds) and S1R (Full frame) have totally different sensor sizing.

Photography Glossary

The GH5S was brought out 12 months before the S1R so they are both of a similar age. Each of the cameras feature the same body design (SLR-style mirrorless).

Before getting into a step-by-step comparison, here is a concise summary of how the GH5S matches up versus the S1R in relation to portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

If you're planning to lug around your camera often, you need to take into account its weight and measurements. The Panasonic GH5S has got outer measurements of 139mm x 98mm x 87mm (5.5" x 3.9" x 3.4") and a weight of 660 grams (1.46 lbs) whilst the Panasonic S1R has proportions of 149mm x 110mm x 97mm (5.9" x 4.3" x 3.8") and a weight of 1020 grams (2.25 lbs).

Bear in mind, the weight of an ILC will differ depending on the lens you are using during that time. Underneath is a front view sizing comparison of the GH5S versus the S1R.

Looking at dimensions and weight, the portability score of the GH5S and S1R is 62 and 54 respectively.

Typically, it can be hard to see the gap in sensor measurements only by checking out specifications. The photograph here might provide you a stronger sense of the sensor sizing in the GH5S and S1R.

To sum up, both cameras come with different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The GH5S featuring a smaller sensor will make shooting bokeh more difficult and the Panasonic S1R will produce greater detail having its extra 37 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also make it easier to crop shots a good deal more aggressively. The older GH5S will be disadvantaged in sensor tech.
