Panasonic G2 vs Panasonic G7

Its time to look more closely at the Panasonic G2 and Panasonic G7, one being a Entry-Level Mirrorless and the latter is a Advanced Mirrorless and both are manufactured by Panasonic. There is a crucial difference between the sensor resolutions of the G2 (12MP) and G7 (16MP) but both cameras have the identical sensor sizes (Four Thirds).

The G2 was introduced 5 years prior to the G7 and that is quite a serious gap as far as tech is concerned. Both of the cameras feature the same body design (SLR-style mirrorless).

Before going into a step-by-step comparison, here is a brief synopsis of how the G2 grades vs the G7 in regards to portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

Here is a preview of the gallery images for Panasonic Lumix DMC-G2 and Panasonic Lumix DMC-G7. The whole galleries are provided at Panasonic G2 Gallery and Panasonic G7 Gallery.

If you are looking to lug around your camera frequently, you will want to factor in its weight and size. The Panasonic G2 features outside measurements of 124mm x 84mm x 74mm (4.9" x 3.3" x 2.9") with a weight of 428 grams (0.94 lbs) while the Panasonic G7 has specifications of 125mm x 86mm x 77mm (4.9" x 3.4" x 3.0") accompanied by a weight of 410 grams (0.90 lbs).

Don't forget, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will differ dependant on the lens you are utilising during that time. Here is a front view size comparison of the G2 vs the G7.

Taking into consideration size and weight, the portability score of the G2 and G7 is 72 and 71 respectively.

Generally, it is very hard to imagine the difference between sensor measurements purely by checking specs. The visual here will offer you a stronger sense of the sensor sizing in the G2 and G7.

All in all, both of these cameras feature the identical sensor size albeit different megapixels. You should expect the Panasonic G7 to give you extra detail using its extra 4MP. Higher resolution can also allow you to crop photographs way more aggressively. The older G2 is going to be behind when it comes to sensor innovation.
