The S5 was announced 10 years after the G10 which is a fairly sizable difference as far as camera technology is concerned. Both cameras have the same body design (SLR-style mirrorless).

Before delving straight to a detailed comparison, here is a short highlight of how the S5 grades vs the G10 with regards to portability, imaging, features and an overall mark.

The following is a sample of the gallery pictures for Panasonic Lumix DC-S5 & Panasonic Lumix DMC-G10. The whole galleries are viewable at Panasonic S5 Gallery & Panasonic G10 Gallery.

For anyone who is intending to travel with your camera regularly, you should take into account its weight and size.

Sometimes, it can be tough to visualize the gap in sensor dimensions simply by viewing a spec sheet. The pic here will help provide you a better sense of the sensor sizing in the S5 and G10.

As you can see, each of the cameras provide different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The S5 using its larger sensor is going to make achieving bokeh easier and the Panasonic S5 will render greater detail with its extra 12 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also enable you to crop pics more aggressively. The more recent S5 should have a benefit with regard to sensor tech.
