The S-1 was launched 4 years prior to the GX9 and that is a fairly big gap as far as camera technology is concerned. Both cameras offer the identical body type (Rangefinder-style mirrorless).

Before delving straight into a full comparison, below is a brief summation of how the S-1 matches up against the GX9 in regards to portability, imaging, features and an overall rating.

The following is a sample of the gallery pics for Kodak Pixpro S-1 and Panasonic Lumix DC-GX9. The complete galleries are provided at Kodak S-1 Gallery and Panasonic GX9 Gallery.

If you're aiming to carry your camera regularly, you will need to think about its weight and proportions.

Don't forget, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will change dependant on the lens you have attached at that time. Following is the front view proportions comparison of the S-1 and the GX9.

Typically, it is difficult to envision the contrast in sensor sizing simply by viewing specifications. The graphic below might give you a far better sense of the sensor dimensions in the S-1 and GX9.

Plainly, each of the cameras enjoy the same exact sensor sizing but not the same MP. You should expect to see the Panasonic GX9 to render extra detail utilizing its extra 4 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also allow you to crop pics far more aggressively. The older S-1 will be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor technology.
