Panasonic G95 vs Panasonic LZ30 Sensor Comparison

Quite often, it is very tough to envision the gap in sensor sizing simply by seeing specs. The graphic here may offer you a stronger sense of the sensor dimensions in the G95 and LZ30.

As you can plainly see, each of the cameras come with different megapixel count and different sensor sizing. The G95 because of its bigger sensor will make shooting shallow depth of field simpler and the Panasonic G95 will produce greater detail as a result of its extra 4.3MP. Higher resolution will let you crop shots a good deal more aggressively. The younger G95 will have an advantage in sensor innovation.
