Panasonic G10 vs Panasonic G6 Sensor Comparison

Quite often, it is hard to visualize the difference in sensor measurements purely by seeing specifications. The photograph underneath should give you a more clear sense of the sensor measurements in the G10 and G6.

To sum up, both the cameras posses the exact same sensor measurements but different resolution. You should anticipate the Panasonic G6 to produce more detail due to its extra 4 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also help you crop photos somewhat more aggressively. The older G10 will be disadvantaged in sensor innovation.
