Panasonic GH5S vs Samsung NX11 Sensor Comparison

More often than not, it is tough to imagine the contrast in sensor sizes simply by going through a spec sheet. The picture below will offer you a much better sense of the sensor sizing in the GH5S and NX11.

Clearly, the two cameras have got different megapixel count and different sensor sizes. The GH5S due to its smaller sensor is going to make getting bokeh trickier and the Samsung NX11 will show extra detail as a result of its extra 5 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also allow you to crop photos much more aggressively. The younger GH5S should have an edge when it comes to sensor technology.
