Typically, it is difficult to visualise the gap between sensor measurements just by looking at specifications. The visual underneath will provide you a greater sense of the sensor measurements in the GF5 and TS25.

Plainly, both of the cameras provide different megapixels and different sensor measurements. The GF5 using its larger sensor will make shooting shallow DOF easier and the Panasonic TS25 will give greater detail because of its extra 4 Megapixels. Greater resolution will make it easier to crop pics more aggressively. The older GF5 is going to be disadvantaged with regard to sensor innovation.
