Panasonic GH6 vs Sony FX3 Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Typically, it can be hard to visualize the difference in sensor sizes merely by checking out a spec sheet. The pic here will help offer you a more clear sense of the sensor sizing in the GH6 and FX3.
Clearly, the 2 cameras have got different megapixel count and different sensor sizes. The GH6 using its smaller sensor is going to make getting shallow DOF tougher and the Panasonic GH6 will provide greater detail because of its extra 13MP. Greater resolution will allow you to crop photos much more aggressively. The more modern GH6 should have an advantage in sensor tech.
