Panasonic GH5S vs Panasonic GH1 Sensor Comparison

Normally, it's difficult to visualise the gap between sensor dimensions only by looking at technical specs. The pic here will offer you a better sense of the sensor measurements in the GH5S and GH1.

As you can tell, both of the cameras come with the identical sensor size albeit not the same megapixels. You should count on the Panasonic GH1 to give extra detail because of its extra 2 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also enable you to crop photographs a good deal more aggressively. The more recent GH5S is going to have a benefit when it comes to sensor technology.
