Panasonic GX9 vs Panasonic G10

On this page, we are evaluating the Panasonic GX9 versus Panasonic G10, one being a Advanced Mirrorless and the other is a Entry-Level Mirrorless and both are produced by Panasonic. There is a huge difference between the sensor resolutions of the GX9 (20MP) and G10 (12MP) but both cameras offer the same sensor size (Four Thirds).

The GX9 was introduced 7 years later than the G10 and that is quite a significant gap as far as tech is concerned. Each of these cameras have different body design with the Panasonic GX9 being a Rangefinder-style mirrorless camera and the Panasonic G10 being a SLR-style mirrorless camera.

Before diving into a full comparison, here is a quick synopsis of how the GX9 matches up against the G10 with respect to portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

Below is a sample of the gallery pictures for Panasonic Lumix DC-GX9 and Panasonic Lumix DMC-G10. The whole galleries are provided at Panasonic GX9 Gallery and Panasonic G10 Gallery.

If you're going to lug around your camera regularly, you will have to think about its weight and dimensions. The Panasonic GX9 enjoys exterior dimensions of 124mm x 72mm x 47mm (4.9" x 2.8" x 1.9") along with a weight of 407 grams (0.90 lbs) and the Panasonic G10 has dimensions of 124mm x 90mm x 74mm (4.9" x 3.5" x 2.9") along with a weight of 388 grams (0.86 lbs).

Do not forget, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will differ dependant on the lens you are utilising during that time. Below is a front view overall size comparison of the GX9 versus the G10.

Taking into consideration size and weight, the portability score of the GX9 and G10 is 82 and 72 respectively.

In many cases, it can be hard to visualise the contrast between sensor measurements only by reviewing technical specs. The visual here should offer you a much better sense of the sensor sizes in the GX9 and G10.

As you can tell, both the cameras provide the same sensor dimensions but not the same MP. You should anticipate the Panasonic GX9 to offer more detail using its extra 8MP. Greater resolution will let you crop pics more aggressively. The younger GX9 is going to have an edge in sensor innovation.
