Panasonic G95 vs Panasonic LZ40

Following is a complete review of the Panasonic G95 versus Panasonic LZ40, former is a Advanced Mirrorless while the latter is a Small Sensor Superzoom and both of them are designed by Panasonic. The image resolution of the G95 (20.3MP) and the LZ40 (20MP) is pretty well matched but the G95 (Four Thirds) and LZ40 (1/2.3") come with different sensor measurements.

The G95 was revealed 5 years after the LZ40 which is quite a significant difference as far as technology is concerned. Both the cameras come with different body type with the Panasonic G95 being a SLR-style mirrorless camera and the Panasonic LZ40 being a SLR-like (bridge) camera.

Before we go through a detailed comparison, below is a simple introduction of how the G95 scores versus the LZ40 in regards to portability, imaging, features and an overall score.

Normally, it is very difficult to visualize the gap between sensor sizes merely by checking specs. The image underneath will help provide you a stronger sense of the sensor sizing in the G95 and LZ40.

All in all, both of those cameras posses different megapixels and different sensor sizes. The G95 with its bigger sensor is going to make achieving shallower DOF less difficult and the Panasonic G95 will give you more detail because of its extra 0.3MP. Higher resolution can also let you crop photographs somewhat more aggressively. The younger G95 should have an advantage in sensor technology.
