In this article, we will be looking at the Panasonic GH5S vs Sony W510, former being a Pro Mirrorless while the latter is a Ultracompact by manufacturers Panasonic and Sony. The sensor resolution of the GH5S (10MP) and the W510 (12MP) is relatively comparable but the GH5S (Four Thirds) and W510 (1/2.3") possess different sensor sizes.

The GH5S was brought out 7 years later than the W510 and that is a fairly serious difference as far as camera technology is concerned. Both the cameras offer different body type with the Panasonic GH5S being a SLR-style mirrorless camera and the Sony W510 being a Ultracompact camera.

Before we go through a in depth comparison, below is a simple overview of how the GH5S matches up vs the W510 in the way of portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

Here is a preview of the gallery photos for Panasonic Lumix DC-GH5S & Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W510. The entire galleries are available at Panasonic GH5S Gallery & Sony W510 Gallery.

For anyone who is intending to lug around your camera frequently, you will need to consider its weight and dimensions.

Remember that, the weight of an ILC will differ dependant on the lens you are utilising at the time. Underneath is the front view over all size comparison of the GH5S and the W510.

Using dimensions and weight, the portability score of the GH5S and W510 is 62 and 96 respectively.

Typically, its hard to imagine the contrast in sensor measurements purely by checking out a spec sheet. The photograph here should give you a far better sense of the sensor dimensions in the GH5S and W510.

As you can see, both of those cameras enjoy different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The GH5S featuring a bigger sensor is going to make achieving shallower DOF easier and the Sony W510 will produce more detail having its extra 2MP. Higher resolution will let you crop photographs far more aggressively. The more modern GH5S provides an advantage in sensor tech.
