Panasonic GH5S vs Samsung NX210 Sensor Comparison

Quite often, it is hard to visualize the gap between sensor measurements only by reading through a spec sheet. The photograph underneath should give you a stronger sense of the sensor measurements in the GH5S and NX210.

Clearly, both of these cameras feature different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The GH5S due to its tinier sensor is going to make achieving shallower DOF more difficult and the Samsung NX210 will give more detail utilizing its extra 10MP. Higher resolution can also enable you to crop photographs way more aggressively. The more recent GH5S provides a benefit when it comes to sensor innovation.
