Panasonic S1R II has a
44.3MP Full frame (36 x 24 mm ) sized CMOS sensor and features Venus Engine processor. On the other hand, Sony A7R V has a
61.0MP Full frame (35.8 x 23.8 mm ) sized BSI-CMOS sensor and features Bionz XR processor.
Sony A7R V's sensor provides 16.7MP more than Panasonic S1R II's sensor, which gives a significant advantage in real life. You can print your images larger or crop more freely.
On the other hand, please keep in mind that Max sensor resolution is not the only determinant of resolving power. Factors such as the optical elements, low pass filter, pixel size and sensor technology also affects the final resolution of the captured image.
Another similarity between these two cameras is that both Sony A7R V and Panasonic S1R II 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 S1R II and A7R V sensor size comparison.
Sensor Size and Resolution Comparison image of Panasonic S1R II and Sony A7R V Cameras
Panasonic S1R II and Sony A7R V 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 S1R II
or the
Sony A7R V ,
including hyperfocal distance.
