Panasonic FZ60 vs Panasonic G95

On this page, we are comparing the Panasonic FZ60 and Panasonic G95, one being a Small Sensor Superzoom and the other is a Advanced Mirrorless and they are both created by Panasonic. There exists a crucial gap between the sensor resolutions of the FZ60 (16MP) and G95 (20.3MP) and the FZ60 (1/2.3") and G95 (Four Thirds) have different sensor size.

The FZ60 was introduced 7 years earlier than the G95 and that is quite a serious gap as far as technology is concerned. Both of the cameras have different body design with the Panasonic FZ60 being a SLR-like (bridge) camera and the Panasonic G95 being a SLR-style mirrorless camera.

Before diving right into a full comparison, here is a short synopsis of how the FZ60 scores against the G95 with respect to portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

Take into account, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will change depending on the lens you use at that time. Here is a front view over all size comparison of the FZ60 against the G95.

Using dimensions and weight, the portability rating of the FZ60 and G95 is 68 and 67 respectively.

More often than not, it's hard to imagine the difference between sensor measurements purely by reading through technical specs. The visual underneath may offer you a more clear sense of the sensor dimensions in the FZ60 and G95.

As you can tell, both of those cameras have different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The FZ60 with its tinier sensor is going to make getting shallower depth of field more difficult and the Panasonic G95 will resolve more detail using its extra 4.3 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also enable you to crop photos a bit more aggressively. The older FZ60 is going to be behind with regard to sensor tech.
