Oftentimes, it can be difficult to see the gap between sensor sizing purely by reviewing specs. The visual underneath may give you a much better sense of the sensor measurements in the S-1 and G100.

All in all, each of the cameras have the same sensor dimensions albeit not the same resolution. You can expect the Panasonic G100 to offer you more detail because of its extra 4 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also help you crop shots a bit more aggressively. The older S-1 is going to be behind in sensor tech.
