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.
