Often, it is difficult to see the gap in sensor sizing simply by checking out a spec sheet. The graphic underneath will give you a more clear sense of the sensor dimensions in the S1H and GH5.

Clearly, each of the cameras provide different megapixel count and different sensor sizing. The S1H with its bigger sensor will make getting shallow DOF less difficult and the Panasonic S1H will provide extra detail with its extra 4 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also enable you to crop pictures more aggressively. The younger S1H is going to have an edge with regard to sensor innovation.
