Panasonic FX75 vs Panasonic GX85 Sensor Comparison

Often, it is difficult to see the difference in sensor sizing just by viewing specifications. The photograph here may provide you a far better sense of the sensor sizes in the FX75 and GX85.

Plainly, each of the cameras offer different resolutions and different sensor sizing. The FX75 using its smaller sensor will make achieving shallower DOF more difficult and the Panasonic GX85 will result in greater detail having an extra 2MP. Greater resolution will let you crop images a little more aggressively. The older FX75 will be disadvantaged with regard to sensor tech.
