The GH1 was released 14 years before the A7R V and that is quite a big difference as far as technology is concerned. Both of the cameras have the same body design (SLR-style mirrorless).

Before diving into a detailed comparison, here is a brief overview of how the GH1 matches up versus the A7R V with respect to portability, imaging, features and an overall rating.

Here is a sample of the gallery pics for Panasonic Lumix DMC-GH1 & Sony Alpha A7R V. The complete galleries are available at Panasonic GH1 Gallery & Sony A7R V Gallery.

More often than not, it is very hard to picture the gap between sensor sizing purely by reading through a spec sheet. The graphic underneath might provide you a clearer sense of the sensor sizes in the GH1 and A7R V.

Clearly, both of the cameras have different megapixel count and different sensor sizing. The GH1 because of its tinier sensor is going to make getting shallower DOF harder and the Sony A7R V will resolve more detail as a result of its extra 49MP. Greater resolution will allow you to crop photos a bit more aggressively. The older GH1 is going to be disadvantaged in sensor tech.
