In many cases, it is hard to see the difference in sensor sizes merely by viewing specs. The picture here will give you a far better sense of the sensor measurements in the 7D MII and S1.
All in all, both the cameras provide different resolutions and different sensor sizes. The 7D MII featuring a smaller sensor will make shooting bokeh tougher and the Panasonic S1 will provide you with more detail utilizing its extra 4MP. Greater resolution can also let you crop images more aggressively. The more aged 7D MII will be behind in sensor innovation.
