Panasonic GH5S vs Panasonic FS7

Below is a complete review of the Panasonic GH5S versus Panasonic FS7, one being a Pro Mirrorless and the other is a Ultracompact and both are sold by Panasonic. The resolution of the GH5S (10MP) and the FS7 (10MP) is fairly close but the GH5S (Four Thirds) and FS7 (1/2.5") boast different sensor size.

The GH5S was manufactured 9 years later than the FS7 and that is a fairly significant gap as far as camera technology is concerned. Each of these cameras feature different body design with the Panasonic GH5S being a SLR-style mirrorless camera and the Panasonic FS7 being a Ultracompact camera.

Before getting right into a complete comparison, here is a short overview of how the GH5S scores vs the FS7 when it comes to portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

Below is a sample of the gallery pictures for Panasonic Lumix DC-GH5S and Panasonic Lumix DMC-FS7. The entire galleries are available at Panasonic GH5S Gallery and Panasonic FS7 Gallery.

For those who are going to lug around your camera frequently, you're going to have to factor in its weight and measurements.

Quite often, it's hard to visualize the gap in sensor measurements simply by researching a spec sheet. The photograph here will help provide you a better sense of the sensor measurements in the GH5S and FS7.

Clearly, the 2 cameras feature the identical megapixel count but different sensor measurements. The GH5S has the larger sensor which will make achieving shallower depth of field simpler. The newer GH5S should have an advantage in sensor innovation.
