Panasonic G85 vs Sigma Quattro

Its time to examine more in depth at the Panasonic G85 and Sigma Quattro, both Advanced Mirrorless cameras by rivals Panasonic and Sigma. There exists a significant gap among the image resolutions of the G85 (16MP) and Quattro (29MP) and the G85 (Four Thirds) and Quattro (APS-C) feature different sensor sizes.

The G85 was introduced 7 months after the Quattro which means that they are of a similar generation. Each of these cameras offer different body type with the Panasonic G85 being a SLR-style mirrorless camera and the Sigma Quattro being a Rangefinder-style mirrorless camera.

Before delving in to a in depth comparison, below is a quick summary of how the G85 grades versus the Quattro when it comes to portability, imaging, features and an overall mark.

When you are going to travel with your camera, you have to think about its weight and measurements. The Panasonic G85 has got physical dimensions of 128mm x 89mm x 74mm (5.0" x 3.5" x 2.9") along with a weight of 505 grams (1.11 lbs) while the Sigma Quattro has proportions of 147mm x 95mm x 91mm (5.8" x 3.7" x 3.6") with a weight of 625 grams (1.38 lbs).

Take into consideration, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will change depending on the lens you are using at that moment. Here is the front view measurement comparison of the G85 vs the Quattro.

Taking into account dimensions and weight, the portability rating of the G85 and Quattro is 69 and 63 respectively.

More often than not, it can be difficult to imagine the gap in sensor dimensions only by seeing a spec sheet. The pic here should provide you a more clear sense of the sensor sizes in the G85 and Quattro.

As you can see, both of the cameras enjoy different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The G85 having a smaller sensor is going to make shooting shallow depth of field harder and the Sigma Quattro will produce greater detail using its extra 13 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also make it easier to crop pictures far more aggressively. The more recent G85 provides an edge with regard to sensor technology.
