Panasonic G95 vs Sony NEX-3N

Here, we are reviewing the Panasonic G95 and Sony NEX-3N, one being a Advanced Mirrorless and the other is a Entry-Level Mirrorless by rivals Panasonic and Sony. There exists a big gap among the sensor resolutions of the G95 (20.3MP) and NEX-3N (16MP) and the G95 (Four Thirds) and NEX-3N (APS-C) boast different sensor sizes.

The G95 was introduced 6 years later than the NEX-3N and that is a fairly big gap as far as camera technology is concerned. Both cameras feature different body design with the Panasonic G95 being a SLR-style mirrorless camera and the Sony NEX-3N being a Rangefinder-style mirrorless camera.

Before delving right into a full comparison, here is a quick highlight of how the G95 scores vs the NEX-3N for portability, imaging, features and an overall rating.

Here is a sample of the gallery pictures for Panasonic Lumix DMC-G95 and Sony Alpha NEX-3N. The whole galleries are provided at Panasonic G95 Gallery and Sony NEX-3N Gallery.

For anyone who is intending to carry your camera, you'll need to think about its weight and volume. The Panasonic G95 provides external dimensions of 130mm x 94mm x 77mm (5.1" x 3.7" x 3.0") and a weight of 536 grams (1.18 lbs) while the Sony NEX-3N has sizing of 110mm x 62mm x 35mm (4.3" x 2.4" x 1.4") along with a weight of 269 grams (0.59 lbs).

Remember, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will differ based on the lens you are utilising at the time. Following is a front view overall size comparison of the G95 and the NEX-3N.

Looking at dimensions and weight, the portability rating of the G95 and NEX-3N is 67 and 89 respectively.

Normally, it's hard to imagine the difference in sensor sizing just by going through technical specs. The graphic here may provide you a more clear sense of the sensor sizes in the G95 and NEX-3N.

As you can tell, the two cameras feature different megapixel count and different sensor sizing. The G95 with its smaller sensor is going to make achieving shallow depth of field more challenging and the Panasonic G95 will show greater detail using its extra 4.3 Megapixels. Greater resolution will make it easier to crop images way more aggressively. The younger G95 should have a benefit in sensor tech.
