Generally, it's tough to visualize the contrast in sensor measurements simply by looking through a spec sheet. The graphic underneath may provide you a greater sense of the sensor measurements in the SD4500 IS and 3D1.
Clearly, both of the cameras enjoy the same exact sensor sizing albeit different resolution. You can count on the Panasonic 3D1 to render greater detail utilizing its extra 2 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also let you crop shots far more aggressively.
