Panasonic GH4 vs Panasonic TS2 Sensor Comparison
Usually, it is very difficult to picture the contrast between sensor sizes simply by reviewing a spec sheet. The pic here may offer you a far better sense of the sensor dimensions in the GH4 and TS2.
Clearly, both of those cameras feature different resolutions and different sensor sizes. The GH4 with its larger sensor is going to make achieving shallower depth of field easier and the Panasonic GH4 will offer you more detail having an extra 2MP. Greater resolution can also let you crop pics way more aggressively. The more recent GH4 should have a benefit when it comes to sensor tech.
