Panasonic GH4 vs Pentax E90

Let's look a little more closely at the Panasonic GH4 versus Pentax E90, former being a Pro Mirrorless while the other is a Small Sensor Compact by manufacturers Panasonic and Pentax. There exists a substantial gap between the image resolutions of the GH4 (16MP) and E90 (10MP) and the GH4 (Four Thirds) and E90 (1/2.3") offer different sensor sizing.

The GH4 was released 4 years later than the E90 and that is quite a big difference as far as technology is concerned. Both of the cameras feature different body design with the Panasonic GH4 being a SLR-style mirrorless camera and the Pentax E90 being a Compact camera.

Before we go straight to a full comparison, here is a short summary of how the GH4 grades vs the E90 for portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

This is a sample of the gallery pics for Panasonic Lumix DMC-GH4 & Pentax Optio E90. The complete galleries are provided at Panasonic GH4 Gallery & Pentax E90 Gallery.

If you are going to lug around your camera regularly, you'll have to take into account its weight and proportions.

Always remember, the weight of an ILC will change based on the lens you are utilising at that moment. Following is a front view dimensions comparison of the GH4 versus the E90.

Taking into account dimensions and weight, the portability grade of the GH4 and E90 is 66 and 94 respectively.

Typically, it's tough to picture the difference between sensor measurements only by reading through specifications. The photograph below will provide you a better sense of the sensor sizes in the GH4 and E90.

To sum up, both of those cameras come with different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The GH4 featuring a larger sensor is going to make getting shallower depth of field easier and the Panasonic GH4 will resolve more detail as a result of its extra 6 Megapixels. Greater resolution will help you crop images a good deal more aggressively. The fresher GH4 should have a benefit in sensor tech.
