Sometimes, it is very hard to picture the difference between sensor sizes simply by reading through specifications. The image here should provide you a far better sense of the sensor sizes in the A3200 IS and GH5.

Plainly, both of the cameras offer different resolutions and different sensor sizes. The A3200 IS using its tinier sensor is going to make getting shallower depth of field more difficult and the Panasonic GH5 will resolve more detail having an extra 6 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also enable you to crop photos a little more aggressively. The more aged A3200 IS is going to be disadvantaged in sensor technology.
