Panasonic GH5S vs Sony A7S

Let's look more closely at the Panasonic GH5S versus Sony A7S, both Pro Mirrorless digital cameras by brands Panasonic and Sony. The sensor resolution of the GH5S (10MP) and the A7S (12MP) is pretty well matched but the GH5S (Four Thirds) and A7S (Full frame) provide totally different sensor sizes.

The GH5S was announced 3 years later than the A7S and that is quite a large gap as far as technology is concerned. Both of these cameras feature the same body design (SLR-style mirrorless).

Before diving straight to a comprehensive comparison, here is a quick overview of how the GH5S grades versus the A7S when it comes to portability, imaging, features and an overall rating.

Below is a preview of the gallery images for Panasonic Lumix DC-GH5S and Sony Alpha A7S. The whole galleries are available at Panasonic GH5S Gallery and Sony A7S Gallery.

When you are intending to carry your camera, you will need to factor its weight and dimensions. The Panasonic GH5S comes with exterior measurements of 139mm x 98mm x 87mm (5.5" x 3.9" x 3.4") and a weight of 660 grams (1.46 lbs) and the Sony A7S has dimensions of 127mm x 94mm x 48mm (5.0" x 3.7" x 1.9") with a weight of 489 grams (1.08 lbs).

Always remember, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will change dependant on the lens you are employing at the time. Following is a front view scale comparison of the GH5S versus the A7S.

Taking into account dimensions and weight, the portability grade of the GH5S and A7S is 62 and 77 respectively.

Quite often, it is hard to envision the gap between sensor sizing simply by looking at a spec sheet. The graphic underneath will offer you a greater sense of the sensor measurements in the GH5S and A7S.

As you can see, both of those cameras come with different megapixel count and different sensor sizing. The GH5S with its tinier sensor will make shooting shallow DOF more challenging and the Sony A7S will resolve more detail with its extra 2MP. Higher resolution will help you crop pictures a good deal more aggressively. The more recent GH5S is going to have a benefit when it comes to sensor innovation.
