The GH5S was revealed 5 years after the FZ60 which is quite a big gap as far as technology is concerned. Both of these cameras feature different body design with the Panasonic GH5S being a SLR-style mirrorless camera and the Panasonic FZ60 being a SLR-like (bridge) camera.

Before we go into a detailed comparison, here is a concise summary of how the GH5S grades versus the FZ60 in relation to portability, imaging, features and an overall score.

The following is a preview of the gallery photos for Panasonic Lumix DC-GH5S and Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ60. The full galleries are viewable at Panasonic GH5S Gallery and Panasonic FZ60 Gallery.

In case you're intending to carry around your camera, you will have to consider its weight and size.

Quite often, it's hard to picture the difference between sensor sizes only by going over technical specs. The image here may give you a greater sense of the sensor sizes in the GH5S and FZ60.

As you can tell, each of these cameras feature different resolutions and different sensor sizes. The GH5S using its bigger sensor is going to make achieving shallow DOF easier and the Panasonic FZ60 will deliver greater detail because of its extra 6MP. Higher resolution can also help you crop pictures way more aggressively. The more recent GH5S should have a benefit with regard to sensor technology.
