Panasonic G7 vs Sigma fp Sensor Comparison

Quite often, it is hard to see the difference between sensor measurements merely by reading through specifications. The photograph here will help offer you a much better sense of the sensor sizes in the G7 and fp.

To sum up, both of those cameras have got different megapixels and different sensor measurements. The G7 because of its tinier sensor will make achieving shallow DOF tougher and the Sigma fp will resolve more detail as a result of its extra 9MP. Greater resolution can also allow you to crop pics much more aggressively. The older G7 is going to be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor tech.
