As you have seen, both the cameras have got different resolutions and different sensor sizing. The GH5S with its tinier sensor will make getting bokeh trickier and the Samsung NX1100 will offer you extra detail because of its extra 10 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also make it easier to crop pics much more aggressively. The more modern GH5S will have a benefit when it comes to sensor technology.
