Sometimes, it is very hard to picture the gap in sensor sizing only by viewing a spec sheet. The visual underneath will offer you a much better sense of the sensor dimensions in the GH5 II and SD10.

Clearly, both of those cameras posses different megapixels and different sensor sizing. The GH5 II using its smaller sensor is going to make shooting shallower DOF more challenging and the Panasonic GH5 II will result in greater detail with its extra 17MP. Greater resolution can also enable you to crop images somewhat more aggressively. The fresher GH5 II provides an advantage in sensor tech.
