Panasonic GX7 vs Sony FX3 Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Often, its hard to see the gap between sensor dimensions purely by going over specifications. The pic underneath may provide you a clearer sense of the sensor sizing in the GX7 and FX3.
Plainly, the 2 cameras feature different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The GX7 due to its tinier sensor will make shooting shallow depth of field more difficult and the Panasonic GX7 will deliver greater detail utilizing its extra 4 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also help you crop images way more aggressively. The more aged GX7 is going to be behind when it comes to sensor tech.
