Panasonic FZ60 vs Panasonic G2

Here is a extensive assessment of the Panasonic FZ60 versus Panasonic G2, one being a Small Sensor Superzoom and the latter is a Entry-Level Mirrorless and they are both produced by Panasonic. There exists a huge gap among the image resolutions of the FZ60 (16MP) and G2 (12MP) and the FZ60 (1/2.3") and G2 (Four Thirds) posses different sensor dimensions.

The FZ60 was launched 2 years later than the G2 and that is a fairly significant gap as far as camera technology is concerned. Both the cameras feature different body design with the Panasonic FZ60 being a SLR-like (bridge) camera and the Panasonic G2 being a SLR-style mirrorless camera.

Before diving into a comprehensive comparison, here is a brief view of how the FZ60 grades vs the G2 in regards to portability, imaging, features and an overall rating.

The following is a preview of the gallery images for Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ60 and Panasonic Lumix DMC-G2. The complete galleries are viewable at Panasonic FZ60 Gallery and Panasonic G2 Gallery.

If you are aiming to carry your camera regularly, you'll need to factor its weight and volume.

Sometimes, it's difficult to picture the difference in sensor sizing merely by viewing a spec sheet. The visual here might give you a far better sense of the sensor dimensions in the FZ60 and G2.

Clearly, both of those cameras come with different megapixel count and different sensor sizing. The FZ60 due to its smaller sensor is going to make achieving shallower DOF trickier and the Panasonic FZ60 will render extra detail utilizing its extra 4MP. Higher resolution will also make it easier to crop photographs a good deal more aggressively. The fresher FZ60 should have a benefit in sensor technology.
