The S-1 was introduced 2 years later than the G3 and that is a fairly sizable gap as far as camera tech is concerned. Both cameras have different body design with the Kodak S-1 being a Rangefinder-style mirrorless camera and the Panasonic G3 being a SLR-style mirrorless camera.

Before diving right into a comprehensive comparison, here is a short highlight of how the S-1 grades vs the G3 with regard to portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

Below is a sample of the gallery pictures for Kodak Pixpro S-1 and Panasonic Lumix DMC-G3. The whole galleries are provided at Kodak S-1 Gallery and Panasonic G3 Gallery.

Generally, it is difficult to visualize the contrast in sensor measurements merely by researching technical specs. The graphic underneath will help give you a more clear sense of the sensor sizing in the S-1 and G3.

As you have seen, each of these cameras provide the same sensor dimensions and the same exact megapixels therefore you should expect comparable quality of images but you have to consider the production date of the cameras into account. The younger S-1 should have a benefit in sensor innovation.
