Panasonic GH5S vs Sony A77

Here, we will be looking at the Panasonic GH5S vs Sony A77, one is a Pro Mirrorless and the latter is a Advanced DSLR by manufacturers Panasonic and Sony. There exists a significant gap between the sensor resolutions of the GH5S (10MP) and A77 (24MP) and the GH5S (Four Thirds) and A77 (APS-C) posses different sensor measurements.

The GH5S was released 6 years after the A77 which is quite a sizable gap as far as technology is concerned. Both of these cameras feature different body design with the Panasonic GH5S being a SLR-style mirrorless camera and the Sony A77 being a Mid-size SLR camera.

Before delving straight to a comprehensive comparison, here is a quick synopsis of how the GH5S matches up against the A77 with respect to portability, imaging, features and an overall score.

This is a preview of the gallery images for Panasonic Lumix DC-GH5S and Sony SLT-A77. The complete galleries are provided at Panasonic GH5S Gallery and Sony A77 Gallery.

For those who are planning to carry around your camera, you're going to have to think about its weight and measurements.

Don't forget, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will differ dependant on the lens you are using during that time. Here is a front view overall size comparison of the GH5S vs the A77.

Factoring in dimensions and weight, the portability rating of the GH5S and A77 is 62 and 59 respectively.

Normally, it can be difficult to imagine the difference between sensor sizes purely by looking at technical specs. The image here will help provide you a far better sense of the sensor measurements in the GH5S and A77.

As you can tell, both of these cameras come with different megapixels and different sensor sizes. The GH5S due to its tinier sensor is going to make achieving bokeh more challenging and the Sony A77 will resolve extra detail as a result of its extra 14 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also let you crop shots a good deal more aggressively. The fresher GH5S should have a benefit when it comes to sensor innovation.
