Panasonic G10 vs Panasonic G6

Below, we are matching up the Panasonic G10 versus Panasonic G6, both Entry-Level Mirrorless cameras and they are both built by Panasonic. There exists a sizeable gap among the sensor resolutions of the G10 (12MP) and G6 (16MP) but they use the exact same sensor dimensions (Four Thirds).

The G10 was manufactured 3 years before the G6 and that is a fairly large gap as far as camera technology is concerned. Each of these cameras come with the identical body type (SLR-style mirrorless).

Before we go in to a in depth comparison, below is a short introduction of how the G10 matches up vs the G6 in regards to portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

The following is a sample of the gallery pictures for Panasonic Lumix DMC-G10 and Panasonic Lumix DMC-G6. The entire galleries are viewable at Panasonic G10 Gallery and Panasonic G6 Gallery.

If you are looking to lug around your camera often, you have to take into account its weight and measurements.

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.
