Panasonic GH6 vs Sony A9 II

Lets look a bit more closely at the Panasonic GH6 versus Sony A9 II, both Pro Mirrorless digital cameras by manufacturers Panasonic and Sony. The image resolution of the GH6 (25MP) and the A9 II (24MP) is relatively well matched but the GH6 (Four Thirds) and A9 II (Full frame) feature totally different sensor dimensions.

The GH6 was introduced 2 years later than the A9 II and that is quite a sizable gap as far as technology is concerned. Each of these cameras offer the identical body type (SLR-style mirrorless).

Before going through a full comparison, below is a quick highlight of how the GH6 matches up vs the A9 II with respect to portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

This is a preview of the gallery photos for Panasonic Lumix DC-GH6 and Sony Alpha A9 Mark II. The whole galleries are provided at Panasonic GH6 Gallery and Sony A9 II Gallery.

If you're intending to lug around your camera, you're going to have to take into account its weight and size. The Panasonic GH6 provides outer dimensions of 139mm x 100mm x 100mm (5.5" x 3.9" x 3.9") having a weight of 823 grams (1.81 lbs) while the Sony A9 II has specifications of 129mm x 96mm x 76mm (5.1" x 3.8" x 3.0") accompanied by a weight of 678 grams (1.49 lbs).

Take into account, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will vary based on the lens you are working with during that time. Following is the front view over all size comparison of the GH6 and the A9 II.

Considering dimensions and weight, the portability score of the GH6 and A9 II is 56 and 62 respectively.

Typically, it is difficult to envision the gap between sensor measurements merely by looking at a spec sheet. The photograph underneath should offer you a much better sense of the sensor sizes in the GH6 and A9 II.

Clearly, both the cameras enjoy different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The GH6 with its tinier sensor will make getting shallower DOF trickier and the Panasonic GH6 will resolve greater detail using its extra 1 Megapixels. Higher resolution will enable you to crop pictures far more aggressively. The younger GH6 will have an advantage with regard to sensor technology.
