      Photography Features

      Sony Alpha 6300 is equipped with BIONZ X processor and can take pictures up to 6000 x 4000 resolution. It can also take pictures with lower resolution like 3:2 (4240 x 2832, 3008 x 2000), 16:9 (6000 x 3376, 4240 x 2400, 3008 x 1688) with 3:2, 16:9 aspect ratios. Panasonic Lumix DC-GH5 is equipped with Venus Engine processor and can take pictures up to 5184 x 3888 resolution.


      Lens Mount

      Sony Alpha 6300 has Sony E lens mount and Panasonic Lumix DC-GH5 has Micro Four Thirds lens mount. Due to APS-C sensor in Sony Alpha 6300 its crop factor is equal to 1.5x, this means that a 35mm equivalent focal length of the mounted lens will be equal to its actual focal length times 1.5. Due to Micro Four Thirds sensor in Panasonic Lumix DC-GH5 its crop factor is equal to 2x, this means that a 35mm equivalent focal length of the mounted lens will be equal to its actual focal length times 2.
