Oftentimes, it is very tough to picture the gap between sensor sizing just by reading through technical specs. The visual underneath should provide you a greater sense of the sensor measurements in the GH5S and Galaxy NX.
As you can tell, both of these cameras have got different megapixels and different sensor sizing. The GH5S due to its tinier sensor is going to make getting shallow depth of field more difficult and the Samsung Galaxy NX will resolve extra detail having its extra 10MP. Higher resolution can also help you crop pictures much more aggressively. The younger GH5S should have a benefit when it comes to sensor technology.
