Plainly, both of these cameras enjoy different megapixel count and different sensor sizes. The LS5 with its tinier sensor will make getting shallower DOF harder and the Panasonic LS5 will offer extra detail using its extra 8 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also make it easier to crop pics far more aggressively. The newer LS5 is going to have a benefit when it comes to sensor technology.
