Sometimes, it is very difficult to picture the gap in sensor sizes simply by going through specifications. The pic here should give you a stronger sense of the sensor dimensions in the R8 and S1R.

Plainly, the two cameras posses the exact same sensor measurements but different megapixels. You can expect to see the Panasonic S1R to show greater detail having its extra 23 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also help you crop photos somewhat more aggressively. The newer R8 should have an edge with regard to sensor technology.
