Panasonic GX8 vs Sigma Quattro

Below is a detailed assessment of the Panasonic GX8 versus Sigma Quattro, both Advanced Mirrorless cameras by manufacturers Panasonic and Sigma. There exists a big gap among the sensor resolutions of the GX8 (20MP) and Quattro (29MP) and the GX8 (Four Thirds) and Quattro (APS-C) have different sensor measurements.

The GX8 was unveiled 7 months before the Quattro so they are both of a similar generation. Both of the cameras have the same body design (Rangefinder-style mirrorless).

Before diving straight to a step-by-step comparison, here is a simple summation of how the GX8 matches up against the Quattro in regards to portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

The following is a preview of the gallery photos for Panasonic Lumix DMC-GX8 and Sigma sd Quattro. The full galleries are available at Panasonic GX8 Gallery and Sigma Quattro Gallery.

For those who are going to lug around your camera, you have to consider its weight and measurements. The Panasonic GX8 has got outside measurements of 133mm x 78mm x 63mm (5.2" x 3.1" x 2.5") with a weight of 487 grams (1.07 lbs) and the Sigma Quattro has proportions of 147mm x 95mm x 91mm (5.8" x 3.7" x 3.6") having a weight of 625 grams (1.38 lbs).

Always remember, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will differ based on the lens you are employing during that time. Here is a front view proportions comparison of the GX8 vs the Quattro.

Using dimensions and weight, the portability rating of the GX8 and Quattro is 74 and 63 respectively.

Sometimes, it is very difficult to picture the gap in sensor measurements only by looking through technical specs. The graphic here might give you a clearer sense of the sensor sizing in the GX8 and Quattro.

As you can tell, the two cameras provide different megapixels and different sensor measurements. The GX8 having a smaller sensor is going to make achieving shallow depth of field more difficult and the Sigma Quattro will result in extra detail having an extra 9 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also make it easier to crop shots more aggressively. The older GX8 will be behind when it comes to sensor technology.
