The GM5 was introduced 7 years prior to the ZV-E10 and that is quite a serious gap as far as technology is concerned. Both the cameras have the same body design (Rangefinder-style mirrorless).

Before diving straight to a thorough comparison, here is a quick introduction of how the GM5 scores vs the ZV-E10 with respect to portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

Here is a sample of the gallery pics for Panasonic Lumix DMC-GM5 and Sony ZV-E10. The whole galleries are available at Panasonic GM5 Gallery and Sony ZV-E10 Gallery.

More often than not, it is very hard to picture the difference between sensor measurements merely by reading through specs. The graphic here will offer you a stronger sense of the sensor dimensions in the GM5 and ZV-E10.

All in all, both of these cameras have different megapixels and different sensor measurements. The GM5 with its tinier sensor is going to make achieving shallow depth of field trickier and the Sony ZV-E10 will give you greater detail using its extra 8 Megapixels. Greater resolution will let you crop photos a bit more aggressively. The older GM5 is going to be disadvantaged with regard to sensor tech.
