Panasonic G95 vs Sony A7 Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Quite often, its tough to visualise the contrast in sensor sizing only by checking out technical specs. The photograph below will offer you a greater sense of the sensor sizing in the G95 and A7.
As you can tell, each of these cameras enjoy different resolutions and different sensor sizing. The G95 using its smaller sensor will make shooting shallow DOF more difficult and the Sony A7 will show extra detail with its extra 3.7MP. Higher resolution will also let you crop pictures far more aggressively. The more modern G95 will have an advantage with regard to sensor technology.
