Panasonic GH5S vs Sony S2100

Below, we will be evaluating the Panasonic GH5S vs Sony S2100, one being a Pro Mirrorless and the latter is a Small Sensor Compact by companies Panasonic and Sony. The image resolution of the GH5S (10MP) and the S2100 (12MP) is pretty well matched but the GH5S (Four Thirds) and S2100 (1/2.3") use different sensor sizes.

The GH5S was announced 8 years later than the S2100 and that is quite a large gap as far as tech is concerned. Both cameras come with different body type with the Panasonic GH5S being a SLR-style mirrorless camera and the Sony S2100 being a Compact camera.

Before going through a detailed comparison, below is a brief synopsis of how the GH5S matches up against the S2100 with respect to portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

Below is a preview of the gallery images for Panasonic Lumix DC-GH5S and Sony Cyber-shot DSC-S2100. The whole galleries are viewable at Panasonic GH5S Gallery and Sony S2100 Gallery.

In case you're intending to lug around your camera regularly, you should factor in its weight and proportions. The Panasonic GH5S enjoys external measurements of 139mm x 98mm x 87mm (5.5" x 3.9" x 3.4") accompanied by a weight of 660 grams (1.46 lbs) and the Sony S2100 has measurements of 98mm x 61mm x 27mm (3.9" x 2.4" x 1.1") having a weight of 167 grams (0.37 lbs).

Do not forget, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will differ based on the lens you have chosen during that time. Underneath is the front view measurements comparison of the GH5S and the S2100.

Taking into consideration size and weight, the portability rating of the GH5S and S2100 is 62 and 93 respectively.

Often, it's difficult to picture the gap between sensor measurements purely by looking at a spec sheet. The graphic underneath should give you a much better sense of the sensor measurements in the GH5S and S2100.

Clearly, both of those cameras have got different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The GH5S having a bigger sensor is going to make getting bokeh simpler and the Sony S2100 will give you greater detail with its extra 2 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also make it easier to crop pictures much more aggressively. The more modern GH5S should have a benefit with regard to sensor technology.
