Clearly, both of the cameras have got different megapixels and different sensor measurements. The GH5 due to its smaller sensor is going to make achieving shallower depth of field harder and the Panasonic GH5 will produce greater detail due to its extra 14 Megapixels. Greater resolution will enable you to crop photos much more aggressively. The younger GH5 should have an edge in sensor technology.
