Panasonic GF8 vs Sony H90

Lets look more in depth at the Panasonic GF8 versus Sony H90, one being a Entry-Level Mirrorless and the latter is a Small Sensor Superzoom by competitors Panasonic and Sony. The image resolution of the GF8 (16MP) and the H90 (16MP) is relatively comparable but the GF8 (Four Thirds) and H90 (1/2.3") provide different sensor size.

The GF8 was released 4 years later than the H90 and that is a fairly sizable gap as far as camera tech is concerned. Both of these cameras feature different body design with the Panasonic GF8 being a Rangefinder-style mirrorless camera and the Sony H90 being a Compact camera.

Before delving into a step-by-step comparison, here is a simple overview of how the GF8 matches up versus the H90 in the way of portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.
