Panasonic G95 vs Sony A7S Sensor Comparison

Sometimes, it is tough to visualise the gap in sensor measurements merely by looking through a spec sheet. The photograph underneath should provide you a better sense of the sensor dimensions in the G95 and A7S.

Clearly, both of these cameras offer different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The G95 due to its smaller sensor will make shooting shallower DOF trickier and the Panasonic G95 will render more detail utilizing its extra 8.3 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also make it easier to crop pics a little more aggressively. The more recent G95 will have a benefit in sensor tech.
