As you can see, the 2 cameras have different megapixels and different sensor dimensions. The GH5S using its smaller sensor will make shooting shallow depth of field more difficult and the Panasonic GH5S will result in more detail using its extra 4 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also let you crop shots a bit more aggressively. The newer GH5S will have an edge in sensor tech.
