Panasonic G95 vs Panasonic GF2 Sensor Comparison

Normally, it can be tough to envision the gap in sensor dimensions purely by researching a spec sheet. The pic here might offer you a stronger sense of the sensor sizes in the G95 and GF2.

Clearly, both of those cameras have the same sensor dimensions but not the same MP. You should anticipate the Panasonic G95 to render greater detail having its extra 8.3 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also allow you to crop photos a bit more aggressively. The newer G95 is going to have an advantage in sensor innovation.
