All in all, both of those cameras feature different megapixels and different sensor sizing. The F5 due to its smaller sensor will make achieving shallower depth of field more challenging and the Panasonic G7 will render extra detail as a result of its extra 2 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also help you crop photos way more aggressively. The older F5 will be behind in sensor technology.
