Panasonic GM1 vs Sigma Quattro H Sensor Comparison
Typically, its tough to imagine the gap between sensor sizes only by checking technical specs. The picture here should give you a far better sense of the sensor sizing in the GM1 and Quattro H.
As you have seen, both cameras enjoy different megapixels and different sensor sizes. The GM1 because of its tinier sensor is going to make shooting shallow depth of field more challenging and the Sigma Quattro H will give greater detail due to its extra 29MP. Greater resolution will also make it easier to crop images far more aggressively. The more aged GM1 is going to be disadvantaged in sensor innovation.
