More often than not, it can be hard to imagine the difference in sensor sizes just by seeing specifications. The picture underneath may give you a greater sense of the sensor dimensions in the R5 C and GH5S.
To sum up, both cameras come with different resolutions and different sensor sizes. The R5 C due to its larger sensor is going to make shooting shallow DOF easier and the Canon R5 C will provide greater detail utilizing its extra 35 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also enable you to crop images a good deal more aggressively. The more recent R5 C provides an advantage when it comes to sensor tech.
