Do not forget, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will differ dependant on the lens you are working with during that time. Below is a front view over all size comparison of the S1800 and the V-Lux 3.

Looking at dimensions and weight, the portability grade of the S1800 and V-Lux 3 is 78 and 67 respectively.

Sometimes, its difficult to envision the difference in sensor sizes purely by going through a spec sheet. The pic below may offer you a greater sense of the sensor sizing in the S1800 and V-Lux 3.

As you can see, each of these cameras come with the identical sensor size and the identical MP and you should expect comparable quality of images although you should consider the release date of the cameras into account. The more aged S1800 will be behind when it comes to sensor tech.
