Panasonic G95 vs Sony A7R III Sensor Comparison

As you can plainly see, both of the cameras feature different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The G95 with its tinier sensor is going to make getting shallower DOF harder and the Sony A7R III will resolve greater detail because of its extra 21.7MP. Greater resolution can also allow you to crop pics way more aggressively. The younger G95 should have a benefit in sensor innovation.
