Generally, it is very hard to visualise the gap in sensor sizing just by viewing a spec sheet. The photograph here may provide you a stronger sense of the sensor measurements in the GH5S and T900.

Clearly, both cameras have got different megapixel count and different sensor sizing. The GH5S having a larger sensor will make achieving shallower depth of field easier and the Sony T900 will provide you with greater detail with its extra 2 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also let you crop photos much more aggressively. The fresher GH5S will have an edge when it comes to sensor technology.
