The sensor resolution of Lumix DMC-G7 is greater than that of PEN-F. However, the difference of 4 MP is not very significant. The more megapixels the camera has, the more detailed and clear the picture will be. The number of megapixels will also affect the maximum size of the photos, which then can be printed without loss of quality.
At the second camera (PEN-F), the minimum ISO value is lower, which gives more opportunities for shooting in daylight. A larger maximum ISO allows you to take good pictures in the dark. PEN-F has image stabilization(5-axis Sensor-shift), Lumix DMC-G7 doesn’t, it is a big minus. Both cameras feature a 3-inch articulated screen.
