As you can see, each of these cameras feature different resolutions and different sensor dimensions. The S3200 because of its tinier sensor is going to make shooting shallow DOF harder and the Panasonic GH3 will give greater detail as a result of its extra 2 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also make it easier to crop pics way more aggressively. The more aged S3200 is going to be behind with regard to sensor tech.
