Panasonic GF7 vs Sony FX3 Sensor Comparison

					

					

						
Typically, its difficult to imagine the gap between sensor measurements purely by looking at a spec sheet. The visual underneath might provide you a far better sense of the sensor sizes in the GF7 and FX3.
As you can see, both the cameras offer different megapixels and different sensor measurements. The GF7 because of its tinier sensor is going to make shooting bokeh trickier and the Panasonic GF7 will give greater detail due to its extra 4MP. Higher resolution can also let you crop photographs a little more aggressively. The older GF7 is going to be disadvantaged in sensor tech.
