Plainly, both of those cameras have got different megapixels and different sensor measurements. The 1 V1 featuring a tinier sensor is going to make getting shallow depth of field trickier and the Panasonic GM5 will resolve extra detail as a result of its extra 6 Megapixels. Greater resolution will enable you to crop images much more aggressively. The older 1 V1 is going to be behind with regard to sensor technology.
