All in all, both of those cameras posses the exact same sensor measurements albeit not the same resolution. You should expect the Panasonic S1H to render extra detail with its extra 6 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also enable you to crop pictures somewhat more aggressively. The more aged M-E Typ 220 will be behind with regard to sensor tech.
