Sometimes, it can be difficult to envision the difference in sensor sizes just by checking out specifications. The picture here will help provide you a far better sense of the sensor measurements in the GH5S and FZ70.

To sum up, both cameras enjoy different megapixel count and different sensor sizes. The GH5S using its bigger sensor will make shooting bokeh simpler and the Panasonic FZ70 will show greater detail using its extra 6 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also let you crop photographs far more aggressively. The more modern GH5S is going to have an edge when it comes to sensor technology.
