Panasonic BGH1 has a
10.2MP Four Thirds (19 x 13mm ) sized MOS sensor . On the other hand, Panasonic GF5 has a
12.0MP Four Thirds (17.3 x 13 mm ) sized CMOS sensor and features Venus Engine FHD processor.
Below you can see the BGH1 and GF5 sensor size comparison.
Sensor Size and Resolution Comparison image of Panasonic BGH1 and Panasonic GF5 Cameras
Panasonic BGH1 and Panasonic GF5 have almost the same sensor size, so neither of them has any significant advantage over the other in terms of providing control over depth of field when used with the same focal length and aperture.
Sensor size sets the circle of confusion, so it drives how much depth of field each
of these bodies gives you at a given aperture. You can calculate it exactly for the
Panasonic BGH1
or the
Panasonic GF5 ,
including hyperfocal distance.
