      Lens Mount

      Sony NEX-6 has Sony E lens mount and Panasonic Lumix DC-G9 has Micro Four Thirds lens mount. Due to APS-C sensor in Sony NEX-6 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-G9 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.


      No Low-Pass Filter on Panasonic Lumix DC-G9

      There is no optical low-pass filter (OLPF), also known as an anti-aliasing filter, in front of the sensor on Panasonic Lumix DC-G9.
