Panasonic GH5S vs Panasonic S1 Sensor Comparison
Sometimes, it is very tough to visualize the gap between sensor sizing purely by reviewing specifications. The graphic below should give you a more clear sense of the sensor sizes in the GH5S and S1.
To sum up, both of those cameras provide different megapixel count and different sensor sizing. The GH5S having a tinier sensor is going to make achieving shallower depth of field harder and the Panasonic S1 will offer greater detail having an extra 14MP. Greater resolution will also help you crop pics more aggressively. The older GH5S is going to be behind with regard to sensor tech.
