As you can tell, both the cameras offer different megapixels and different sensor sizes. The GH5S because of its bigger sensor will make shooting shallower depth of field less difficult and the Samsung EX2F will provide more detail as a result of its extra 2 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also make it easier to crop photographs a little more aggressively. The more recent GH5S is going to have an advantage in sensor innovation.
