To sum up, the 2 cameras feature different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The GH5S due to its bigger sensor will make achieving shallow DOF simpler and the Panasonic 3D1 will provide you with greater detail due to its extra 2MP. Higher resolution will also allow you to crop photographs way more aggressively. The more recent GH5S is going to have an advantage with regard to sensor innovation.
