The GH2 was brought out 5 years before the Quattro and that is a fairly significant difference as far as camera technology is concerned. Each of the cameras feature different body design with the Panasonic GH2 being a SLR-style mirrorless camera and the Sigma Quattro being a Rangefinder-style mirrorless camera.

Before delving right into a comprehensive comparison, here is a simple introduction of how the GH2 grades against the Quattro for portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

Normally, it is very difficult to picture the gap in sensor measurements merely by going through specifications. The visual underneath will help offer you a much better sense of the sensor sizing in the GH2 and Quattro.

Plainly, both cameras feature different megapixels and different sensor measurements. The GH2 featuring a smaller sensor is going to make shooting shallow depth of field tougher and the Sigma Quattro will show extra detail having its extra 13 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also let you crop photographs way more aggressively. The older GH2 will be disadvantaged with regard to sensor technology.
