Optics

sensor size

Micro Four Thirds

APS-C

One of the most important aspects of a camera is the size of its sensor. A larger sensor will capture more light, which results in improved low-light performance, dynamic range, and general image quality.lens mount

Micro Four ThirdsPanasonic Lumix DMC-GX85

Sony ESony A6000

The type of mount that connects the lens to the camera.focus points

49

179

The more focus points the more flexibility in picking which part of the scene to focus on. They also give the image sensor a better probability in identifying the right area of the scene to focus on in more automatic modes.megapixels (main camera)

16 MP

24 MP

The number of megapixels determines the resolution of the images captured with the main camera. A higher megapixel count means that the camera is capable of capturing more details. However, the megapixel count is not the only important element determining the quality of an image.maximum ISO

Unknown. Help us by suggesting a value. (Panasonic Lumix DMC-GX85)

25600 ISO

With a higher light sensitivity (ISO level), the sensor absorbs more light. This can be used to capture moving objects using a fast shutter speed, or to take images in low light without using a flash.maximum expanded ISO

25600 ISO

51200 ISO

Expanded ISO allows you to go beyond the native ISO. It does this by digitally enhancing the image output. The resulting image will have less quality than when staying within the native ISO range, but it can be useful in certain situations.has sensor shift stabilization✔Panasonic Lumix DMC-GX85✖Sony A6000With sensor shift, the image sensor (rather than the lens) moves to counterbalance any vibration of the camera. This means the image will be stabilised regardless of what lens is being used.continuous shooting (mechanical)

8 fps

11 fps

The number of frames per second that can be captured in continuous drive mode when using the mechanical shutter.has AF tracking✔Panasonic Lumix DMC-GX85✔Sony A6000With AF tracking, once you choose the subject and press the shutter release part way down, as the subject moves, the autofocus will follow it.

Sony A6000: Not applicable

The camera can take a series of shots, shifting the sensor slightly with each one. These can then be combined to create an extremely high-resolution image. It’s particularly useful for things like photographing artwork.shoots raw✔Panasonic Lumix DMC-GX85✔Sony A6000A raw image file contains minimally processed data from the image sensor.
