To sum up, both of those cameras have got the exact same sensor measurements albeit not the same megapixels. You should count on the Panasonic GH2 to offer greater detail as a result of its extra 6MP. Higher resolution will let you crop pictures much more aggressively. The more recent GH2 will have a benefit when it comes to sensor tech.
