Panasonic FH25 vs Panasonic GM1

On this page, we will be reviewing the Panasonic FH25 and Panasonic GM1, one is a Small Sensor Compact and the latter is a Entry-Level Mirrorless and both are designed by Panasonic. The sensor resolution of the FH25 (16MP) and the GM1 (16MP) is relatively close but the FH25 (1/2.3") and GM1 (Four Thirds) have totally different sensor sizes.

The FH25 was unveiled 3 years before the GM1 which is a fairly large gap as far as camera tech is concerned. Both the cameras have different body design with the Panasonic FH25 being a Compact camera and the Panasonic GM1 being a Rangefinder-style mirrorless camera.

Before we go into a comprehensive comparison, here is a brief summation of how the FH25 grades versus the GM1 in relation to portability, imaging, features and an overall mark.

Generally, it can be tough to visualise the difference in sensor dimensions merely by researching technical specs. The pic underneath will offer you a stronger sense of the sensor sizes in the FH25 and GM1.

As you have seen, both cameras have the same MP albeit not the same sensor dimensions. The FH25 features the smaller sensor which is going to make achieving shallower depth of field tougher. The more aged FH25 will be behind when it comes to sensor innovation.
