Panasonic GH5S vs Samsung WB35F Sensor Comparison

Normally, it's tough to imagine the gap between sensor sizing merely by looking at specifications. The visual below may provide you a much better sense of the sensor sizes in the GH5S and WB35F.

Plainly, both of those cameras posses different megapixel count and different sensor sizing. The GH5S because of its larger sensor is going to make shooting shallow DOF simpler and the Samsung WB35F will resolve greater detail as a result of its extra 6 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also allow you to crop images somewhat more aggressively. The more modern GH5S should have an edge with regard to sensor innovation.
