Panasonic GH5S vs Panasonic G7 Sensor Comparison

Sometimes, it is tough to visualise the contrast between sensor dimensions purely by going over a spec sheet. The image underneath will give you a stronger sense of the sensor measurements in the GH5S and G7.

Clearly, the 2 cameras offer the same exact sensor sizing but not the same resolution. You can anticipate the Panasonic G7 to deliver more detail using its extra 6MP. Greater resolution will also let you crop images a little more aggressively. The fresher GH5S is going to have a benefit with regard to sensor technology.
