As you can see, each of these cameras enjoy different resolutions and different sensor sizes. The GH5S due to its tinier sensor is going to make shooting shallower DOF more challenging and the Sony A6300 will deliver extra detail as a result of its extra 14 Megapixels. Higher resolution will enable you to crop shots far more aggressively. The more modern GH5S should have an advantage with regard to sensor innovation.
