The GH5S was brought out 7 years after the FH25 which is quite a significant gap as far as tech is concerned. Both the cameras offer different body type with the Panasonic GH5S being a SLR-style mirrorless camera and the Panasonic FH25 being a Compact camera.

Before getting in to a full comparison, below is a quick summation of how the GH5S grades versus the FH25 for portability, imaging, features and an overall mark.

The following is a sample of the gallery pictures for Panasonic Lumix DC-GH5S and Panasonic Lumix DMC-FH25. The entire galleries are viewable at Panasonic GH5S Gallery and Panasonic FH25 Gallery.

In case you're aiming to travel with your camera regularly, you will need to think about its weight and volume.

Generally, it is difficult to envision the gap between sensor dimensions purely by going over specs. The pic here will help provide you a much better sense of the sensor sizing in the GH5S and FH25.

All in all, both of these cameras enjoy different resolutions and different sensor dimensions. The GH5S due to its larger sensor will make achieving bokeh easier and the Panasonic FH25 will offer extra detail having its extra 6MP. Greater resolution will also allow you to crop photos far more aggressively. The fresher GH5S is going to have an advantage in sensor tech.
