The GH5S was announced 4 years later than the QX10 and that is a fairly serious difference as far as camera technology is concerned. Both the cameras have different body design with the Panasonic GH5S being a SLR-style mirrorless camera and the Sony QX10 being a Lens-style camera.

Before getting into a complete comparison, here is a brief summary of how the GH5S scores against the QX10 in regards to portability, imaging, features and an overall rating.

Here is a sample of the gallery pics for Panasonic Lumix DC-GH5S & Sony Cyber-shot DSC-QX10. The whole galleries are available at Panasonic GH5S Gallery & Sony QX10 Gallery.

Sometimes, it is very hard to imagine the gap in sensor sizing just by going through specifications. The photograph underneath will help offer you a stronger sense of the sensor measurements in the GH5S and QX10.

To sum up, both of these cameras have different megapixel count and different sensor sizing. The GH5S with its larger sensor is going to make shooting shallow DOF less difficult and the Sony QX10 will show more detail with its extra 8 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also make it easier to crop pics a bit more aggressively. The fresher GH5S should have a benefit with regard to sensor tech.
