Normally, it is difficult to visualize the difference between sensor sizing merely by reading technical specs. The visual below will help give you a greater sense of the sensor measurements in the GH5S and GX-1S.

As you have seen, both cameras posses different megapixels and different sensor sizing. The GH5S with its tinier sensor is going to make getting shallow depth of field harder and the Panasonic GH5S will deliver more detail with its extra 4 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also help you crop pics somewhat more aggressively. The younger GH5S should have a benefit in sensor technology.
