Panasonic G10 vs Panasonic GH4 Sensor Comparison
Typically, its hard to picture the difference between sensor measurements only by reading through a spec sheet. The photograph below might offer you a far better sense of the sensor measurements in the G10 and GH4.
As you can see, the 2 cameras feature the identical sensor size albeit different megapixels. You should count on the Panasonic GH4 to give you greater detail using its extra 4MP. Higher resolution will let you crop pictures way more aggressively. The older G10 is going to be behind when it comes to sensor tech.
