Clearly, the 2 cameras posses different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The GF5 because of its tinier sensor is going to make getting shallower DOF tougher and the Panasonic GF5 will resolve extra detail having its extra 2 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also make it easier to crop photographs somewhat more aggressively. The more modern GF5 provides an advantage with regard to sensor innovation.
