The G2 was brought out 5 years prior to the A7R II which is quite a significant gap as far as tech is concerned. The two cameras offer the identical body type (SLR-style mirrorless).

Before we go straight into a more detailed comparison, below is a short introduction of how the G2 scores vs the A7R II with regards to portability, imaging, features and an overall score.

This is a preview of the gallery photos for Panasonic Lumix DMC-G2 and Sony Alpha A7R II. The entire galleries are available at Panasonic G2 Gallery and Sony A7R II Gallery.

Generally, it can be hard to picture the contrast between sensor sizes simply by reading through technical specs. The image underneath might offer you a greater sense of the sensor dimensions in the G2 and A7R II.

As you can tell, both cameras enjoy different megapixels and different sensor sizes. The G2 because of its tinier sensor is going to make achieving shallower depth of field more challenging and the Sony A7R II will give greater detail having its extra 30 Megapixels. Higher resolution will allow you to crop pictures far more aggressively. The more aged G2 is going to be disadvantaged with regard to sensor technology.
