Panasonic G2 vs Sony A7S II

Let's take a closer look at the Panasonic G2 and Sony A7S II, one being a Entry-Level Mirrorless and the latter is a Pro Mirrorless by companies Panasonic and Sony. The resolution of the G2 (12MP) and the A7S II (12MP) is pretty comparable but the G2 (Four Thirds) and A7S II (Full frame) come with different sensor size.

The G2 was released 6 years prior to the A7S II and that is a fairly significant gap as far as camera technology 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 concise highlight of how the G2 scores vs the A7S II when it comes to portability, imaging, features and an overall rating.

Typically, its difficult to visualize the contrast in sensor sizing simply by going through specs. The visual below might offer you a stronger sense of the sensor sizes in the G2 and A7S II.

All in all, both of these cameras enjoy the same exact megapixels albeit different sensor sizing. The G2 provides the smaller sensor which will make getting shallower depth of field more difficult. The older G2 will be behind in sensor innovation.
