Panasonic GH6 vs Panasonic S1 Sensor Comparison
Quite often, it can be hard to imagine the difference in sensor sizing purely by viewing a spec sheet. The visual here will offer you a much better sense of the sensor sizing in the GH6 and S1.
Clearly, the 2 cameras have different megapixels and different sensor sizing. The GH6 featuring a smaller sensor is going to make achieving shallow DOF trickier and the Panasonic GH6 will render extra detail as a result of its extra 1MP. Higher resolution will also allow you to crop photographs a bit more aggressively. The younger GH6 should have an advantage in sensor innovation.
