Panasonic GH6 vs Sony A7S

Lets look more closely at the Panasonic GH6 and Sony A7S, both Pro Mirrorless digital cameras by competitors Panasonic and Sony. There is a big difference between the image resolutions of the GH6 (25MP) and A7S (12MP) and the GH6 (Four Thirds) and A7S (Full frame) offer totally different sensor sizing.

The GH6 was introduced 7 years later than the A7S and that is quite a big gap as far as tech is concerned. Each of these cameras feature the same body design (SLR-style mirrorless).

Before diving into a in-depth comparison, here is a simple overview of how the GH6 matches up against the A7S for portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

Often, its tough to visualise the contrast between sensor measurements merely by reading through specifications. The graphic here might give you a stronger sense of the sensor measurements in the GH6 and A7S.

Plainly, both cameras feature different megapixels and different sensor measurements. The GH6 having a tinier sensor will make shooting shallow depth of field more challenging and the Panasonic GH6 will give you greater detail using its extra 13 Megapixels. Higher resolution will enable you to crop shots way more aggressively. The younger GH6 will have an edge in sensor tech.
