Panasonic GM1 vs Sony A6300

Let's take a deeper look at the Panasonic GM1 versus Sony A6300, one being a Entry-Level Mirrorless and the latter is a Advanced Mirrorless by companies Panasonic and Sony. There is a huge difference between the image resolutions of the GM1 (16MP) and A6300 (24MP) and the GM1 (Four Thirds) and A6300 (APS-C) provide different sensor size.

The GM1 was launched 3 years prior to the A6300 and that is quite a significant gap as far as tech is concerned. Each of the cameras have the same body design (Rangefinder-style mirrorless).

Before delving right into a comprehensive comparison, here is a simple introduction of how the GM1 matches up vs the A6300 in regards to portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

Below is a preview of the gallery photos for Panasonic Lumix DMC-GM1 and Sony Alpha a6300. The complete galleries are available at Panasonic GM1 Gallery and Sony A6300 Gallery.

If you are intending to lug around your camera, you are going to need to take into account its weight and measurements. The Panasonic GM1 features outside measurements of 99mm x 55mm x 30mm (3.9" x 2.2" x 1.2") having a weight of 204 grams (0.45 lbs) and the Sony A6300 has proportions of 120mm x 67mm x 49mm (4.7" x 2.6" x 1.9") accompanied by a weight of 404 grams (0.89 lbs).

Always remember, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will vary depending on the lens you select at that time. The following is a front view dimensions comparison of the GM1 versus the A6300.

Considering size and weight, the portability rating of the GM1 and A6300 is 93 and 83 respectively.

Often, it is very tough to picture the gap between sensor measurements purely by looking at technical specs. The graphic below will provide you a far better sense of the sensor measurements in the GM1 and A6300.

As you have seen, each of these cameras provide different megapixels and different sensor measurements. The GM1 because of its tinier sensor is going to make getting shallower DOF harder and the Sony A6300 will give you extra detail utilizing its extra 8MP. Higher resolution will also make it easier to crop photographs more aggressively. The older GM1 is going to be disadvantaged in sensor technology.
