Panasonic GF2 vs Sony ZV-E10 Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Typically, it's difficult to envision the contrast in sensor sizes merely by looking through technical specs. The pic here should offer you a greater sense of the sensor dimensions in the GF2 and ZV-E10.
As you have seen, the two cameras feature different megapixels and different sensor sizes. The GF2 because of its smaller sensor will make achieving shallow DOF more challenging and the Sony ZV-E10 will provide you with extra detail due to its extra 12MP. Greater resolution can also enable you to crop pics way more aggressively. The more aged GF2 will be behind with regard to sensor tech.
