All in all, both of these cameras have got different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The GH5S having a bigger sensor is going to make achieving shallower DOF simpler and the Sony W570 will result in more detail having an extra 6 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also enable you to crop photographs much more aggressively. The younger GH5S should have a benefit in sensor technology.
