Panasonic G6 vs Sony A7R V

Below, we will be looking at the Panasonic G6 and Sony A7R V, one being a Entry-Level Mirrorless and the latter is a Pro Mirrorless by competitors Panasonic and Sony. There exists a sizeable gap among the resolutions of the G6 (16MP) and A7R V (61MP) and the G6 (Four Thirds) and A7R V (Full frame) feature different sensor size.

The G6 was released 10 years prior to the A7R V and that is a fairly large gap as far as camera technology is concerned. Each of the cameras come with the identical body type (SLR-style mirrorless).

Before going through a in depth comparison, below is a concise synopsis of how the G6 matches up against the A7R V in relation to portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

Here is a preview of the gallery images for Panasonic Lumix DMC-G6 and Sony Alpha A7R V. The complete galleries are available at Panasonic G6 Gallery and Sony A7R V Gallery.

If you are planning to lug around your camera regularly, you're going to have to factor its weight and volume.

More often than not, it is tough to picture the gap in sensor measurements merely by checking out specifications. The graphic underneath will provide you a greater sense of the sensor measurements in the G6 and A7R V.

Plainly, both cameras posses different megapixels and different sensor measurements. The G6 due to its smaller sensor is going to make achieving shallower depth of field harder and the Sony A7R V will show greater detail as a result of its extra 45 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also make it easier to crop shots somewhat more aggressively. The older G6 will be disadvantaged in sensor technology.
