Panasonic G9 has a
20.0MP Four Thirds (17.3 x 13 mm ) sized Live MOS sensor . On the other hand, Panasonic G97 has a
20.3MP Four Thirds (17.3 x 13 mm ) sized CMOS sensor and features Venus Engine processor.
Another similarity between these two cameras is that both Panasonic G97 and Panasonic G9 sensors lack anti-alias (Low-Pass) filters. Removing anti-alias filter increases the sharpness and level of detail but at the same time, it increases the chance of moiré occurring in certain scenes.
Below you can see the G9 and G97 sensor size comparison.
Sensor Size and Resolution Comparison image of Panasonic G9 and Panasonic G97 Cameras
Panasonic G9 and Panasonic G97 have the same sensor sizes so they will provide same level of control over the depth of field when used with 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 G9
or the
Panasonic G97 ,
including hyperfocal distance.
