More often than not, its difficult to picture the difference in sensor dimensions merely by looking through a spec sheet. The image here will provide you a greater sense of the sensor sizing in the FE-5010 and GH5S.

Clearly, both the cameras feature different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The FE-5010 featuring a smaller sensor is going to make shooting shallow depth of field more challenging and the Olympus FE-5010 will render extra detail due to its extra 2 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also make it easier to crop images way more aggressively. The more aged FE-5010 will be behind when it comes to sensor innovation.
