Pixii Max has a
24.5MP Full frame (36 x 24 mm ) sized CMOS sensor . On the other hand, Panasonic GH7 has a
25.0MP Four Thirds (17.3 x 13 mm ) sized BSI CMOS sensor .
Another similarity between these two cameras is that both Panasonic GH7 and Pixii Max 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 Max (A3410) and GH7 sensor size comparison.
Sensor Size and Resolution Comparison image of Pixii Max and Panasonic GH7 Cameras
As seen above, Pixii Max has a 3.8x Larger sensor area than Panasonic GH7. Larger sensors give photographer more control on the depth of field and blurry background compared to smaller sensor when shot in 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
Pixii Max
or the
Panasonic GH7 ,
including hyperfocal distance.
One thing to watch when comparing these two: they have different sensor sizes
(Full frame versus Four Thirds),
so compare them at the same framing rather than the same focal length.
Put the same focal length on the smaller sensor and it will show less depth of
field, not more, because it also crops tighter. The calculator shows the
full frame equivalent focal length for each body so you can match the framing.
