Panasonic GH5S vs Samsung NX2000 Sensor Comparison

Generally, it is very tough to imagine the difference in sensor dimensions just by researching a spec sheet. The pic underneath will help provide you a far better sense of the sensor sizing in the GH5S and NX2000.

Clearly, both the cameras posses different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The GH5S featuring a smaller sensor is going to make shooting bokeh trickier and the Samsung NX2000 will result in extra detail utilizing its extra 10 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also enable you to crop pics somewhat more aggressively. The younger GH5S provides a benefit when it comes to sensor innovation.
