Panasonic G95 vs Sony NEX-6

Let's look a bit more in depth at the Panasonic G95 versus Sony NEX-6, both Advanced Mirrorless cameras by companies Panasonic and Sony. There is a sizeable difference among the sensor resolutions of the G95 (20.3MP) and NEX-6 (16MP) and the G95 (Four Thirds) and NEX-6 (APS-C) come with totally different sensor sizing.

The G95 was introduced 6 years after the NEX-6 which is a fairly large gap as far as camera tech is concerned. Both cameras offer different body type with the Panasonic G95 being a SLR-style mirrorless camera and the Sony NEX-6 being a Rangefinder-style mirrorless camera.

Before going straight into a more detailed comparison, below is a short view of how the G95 matches up vs the NEX-6 in terms of portability, imaging, features and an overall mark.

When you are aiming to travel with your camera regularly, you are going to need to factor its weight and size.

Oftentimes, its difficult to envision the contrast in sensor dimensions simply by viewing a spec sheet. The pic below will help provide you a far better sense of the sensor sizing in the G95 and NEX-6.

Clearly, the two cameras enjoy different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The G95 with its smaller sensor will make shooting shallower depth of field trickier and the Panasonic G95 will render greater detail using its extra 4.3MP. Higher resolution will also let you crop photographs far more aggressively. The fresher G95 is going to have an edge when it comes to sensor innovation.
