Panasonic G10 vs Sony RX10 III

Here is a extensive review of the Panasonic G10 versus Sony RX10 III, one being a Entry-Level Mirrorless and the latter is a Large Sensor Superzoom by competitors Panasonic and Sony. There exists a sizeable gap among the sensor resolutions of the G10 (12MP) and RX10 III (20MP) and the G10 (Four Thirds) and RX10 III (1") come with different sensor sizing.

The G10 was revealed 6 years earlier than the RX10 III and that is a fairly large gap as far as camera technology is concerned. The two cameras offer different body type with the Panasonic G10 being a SLR-style mirrorless camera and the Sony RX10 III being a SLR-like (bridge) camera.

Before getting in to a in-depth comparison, below is a short synopsis of how the G10 scores versus the RX10 III for portability, imaging, features and an overall rating.

If you are planning to carry your camera, you're going to have to take into account its weight and size. The Panasonic G10 comes with external dimensions of 124mm x 90mm x 74mm (4.9" x 3.5" x 2.9") having a weight of 388 grams (0.86 lbs) while the Sony RX10 III has specifications of 133mm x 94mm x 127mm (5.2" x 3.7" x 5.0") accompanied by a weight of 1051 grams (2.32 lbs).

Normally, it can be tough to imagine the contrast in sensor sizing merely by looking through specifications. The graphic here will help give you a much better sense of the sensor dimensions in the G10 and RX10 III.

Plainly, both cameras enjoy different megapixels and different sensor sizing. The G10 having a bigger sensor is going to make getting shallower depth of field less difficult and the Sony RX10 III will render greater detail because of its extra 8 Megapixels. Higher resolution will enable you to crop photographs far more aggressively. The older G10 will be behind in sensor innovation.
