To sum up, both of the cameras feature different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The GH2 having a smaller sensor will make shooting shallower DOF more challenging and the Panasonic GH2 will produce more detail because of its extra 4 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also let you crop photographs way more aggressively. The older GH2 will be behind with regard to sensor tech.
