Panasonic GH5S vs Panasonic TS1

Let's take a closer look at the Panasonic GH5S vs Panasonic TS1, former being a Pro Mirrorless while the latter is a Waterproof and both of them are designed by Panasonic. The sensor resolution of the GH5S (10MP) and the TS1 (12MP) is relatively close but the GH5S (Four Thirds) and TS1 (1/2.3") have different sensor dimensions.

The GH5S was released 9 years later than the TS1 and that is a fairly large difference as far as camera technology is concerned. Both cameras have different body design with the Panasonic GH5S being a SLR-style mirrorless camera and the Panasonic TS1 being a Compact camera.

Before going into a comprehensive comparison, here is a brief introduction of how the GH5S matches up vs the TS1 with respect to portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

Here is a preview of the gallery photos for Panasonic Lumix DC-GH5S & Panasonic Lumix DMC-TS1. The complete galleries are viewable at Panasonic GH5S Gallery & Panasonic TS1 Gallery.

For those who are aiming to lug around your camera, you will have to factor its weight and dimensions. The Panasonic GH5S provides physical dimensions of 139mm x 98mm x 87mm (5.5" x 3.9" x 3.4") having a weight of 660 grams (1.46 lbs) and the Panasonic TS1 has dimensions of 98mm x 63mm x 23mm (3.9" x 2.5" x 0.9") and a weight of 189 grams (0.42 lbs).

Don't forget, the weight of an ILC will differ dependant on the lens you are working with at that time. Underneath is a front view dimension comparison of the GH5S compared to the TS1.

Factoring in dimensions and weight, the portability grade of the GH5S and TS1 is 62 and 93 respectively.

Typically, its difficult to picture the contrast in sensor measurements only by looking through a spec sheet. The visual below will provide you a more clear sense of the sensor sizes in the GH5S and TS1.

As you can see, both of these cameras provide different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The GH5S featuring a bigger sensor is going to make shooting shallower DOF easier and the Panasonic TS1 will render greater detail as a result of its extra 2 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also make it easier to crop photographs more aggressively. The younger GH5S should have an advantage when it comes to sensor tech.
