In many cases, it's tough to imagine the difference in sensor dimensions purely by seeing a spec sheet. The image underneath will help offer you a better sense of the sensor measurements in the R5 and GH5S.

As you can see, both the cameras feature different megapixels and different sensor dimensions. The R5 having a bigger sensor is going to make getting shallower depth of field less difficult and the Canon R5 will provide extra detail with its extra 35MP. Higher resolution will help you crop shots way more aggressively. The more recent R5 provides a benefit when it comes to sensor technology.
