Panasonic G10 vs Panasonic GH3 Sensor Comparison

In many cases, it is very tough to envision the gap between sensor sizes only by checking specifications. The image underneath will offer you a better sense of the sensor dimensions in the G10 and GH3.

Plainly, both of the cameras have the same sensor dimensions but not the same megapixels. You should expect to see the Panasonic GH3 to give extra detail as a result of its extra 4MP. Greater resolution can also let you crop pics a bit more aggressively. The more aged G10 is going to be disadvantaged in sensor innovation.
