Panasonic GH5S vs Panasonic G2 Sensor Comparison
Oftentimes, it is very difficult to envision the difference between sensor measurements just by going over a spec sheet. The photograph underneath may offer you a stronger sense of the sensor sizing in the GH5S and G2.
Clearly, both of these cameras enjoy the same exact sensor sizing albeit not the same resolution. You should expect the Panasonic G2 to offer more detail due to its extra 2 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also allow you to crop pictures far more aggressively. The younger GH5S is going to have an edge when it comes to sensor technology.
