Panasonic GX850 vs Sony ZV-E10 Sensor Comparison

Oftentimes, its difficult to imagine the gap between sensor sizing only by reviewing specifications. The photograph underneath might provide you a stronger sense of the sensor sizing in the GX850 and ZV-E10.

To sum up, each of these cameras come with different megapixel count and different sensor sizing. The GX850 having a tinier sensor is going to make getting shallow DOF more challenging and the Sony ZV-E10 will offer more detail using its extra 8MP. Greater resolution will enable you to crop pics a good deal more aggressively. The older GX850 is going to be disadvantaged with regard to sensor tech.
