More often than not, it can be hard to imagine the difference in sensor dimensions just by researching a spec sheet. The pic underneath will offer you a clearer sense of the sensor measurements in the 30D and GH5.

As you can see, both of these cameras posses different megapixels and different sensor dimensions. The 30D with its larger sensor is going to make shooting bokeh easier and the Panasonic GH5 will provide you with more detail because of its extra 12 Megapixels. Greater resolution will let you crop pics somewhat more aggressively. The more aged 30D will be behind when it comes to sensor innovation.
