Panasonic GH5 vs Samsung NX10 Sensor Comparison

Quite often, it is difficult to envision the gap in sensor sizes merely by going through specs. The pic underneath might offer you a clearer sense of the sensor measurements in the GH5 and NX10.

All in all, the 2 cameras have got different megapixels and different sensor sizes. The GH5 using its smaller sensor will make shooting shallower DOF more challenging and the Panasonic GH5 will produce greater detail using its extra 5MP. Greater resolution will also help you crop pics much more aggressively. The more modern GH5 will have a benefit when it comes to sensor technology.
