Panasonic G95 vs Sony A7S II Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Sometimes, it is very difficult to picture the gap in sensor sizes only by researching specs. The picture here will give you a clearer sense of the sensor sizes in the G95 and A7S II.
All in all, both cameras enjoy different resolutions and different sensor sizes. The G95 using its smaller sensor is going to make shooting shallower depth of field more challenging and the Panasonic G95 will provide you with extra detail with its extra 8.3 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also help you crop pics far more aggressively. The newer G95 provides an advantage when it comes to sensor tech.
