As you can see, both of the cameras have got different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The GH5 II because of its smaller sensor is going to make getting shallow depth of field harder and the Panasonic S1R will provide you with extra detail having its extra 27MP. Greater resolution will also allow you to crop images much more aggressively. The fresher GH5 II should have a benefit when it comes to sensor tech.
