Panasonic G2 vs Sony ZV-E10 Sensor Comparison

All in all, each of the cameras have different megapixels and different sensor measurements. The G2 due to its smaller sensor will make shooting shallow depth of field harder and the Sony ZV-E10 will show extra detail as a result of its extra 12 Megapixels. Higher resolution will allow you to crop shots a bit more aggressively. The older G2 will be disadvantaged with regard to sensor tech.
