Usually, it can be tough to imagine the contrast between sensor sizes merely by looking at technical specs. The picture here may offer you a clearer sense of the sensor measurements in the GH5S and HX200V.

As you have seen, the 2 cameras come with different megapixel count and different sensor sizes. The GH5S having a bigger sensor is going to make shooting shallow depth of field less difficult and the Sony HX200V will give you extra detail having an extra 8 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also make it easier to crop pictures a good deal more aggressively. The newer GH5S should have a benefit when it comes to sensor tech.
