Sometimes, it is tough to envision the contrast between sensor dimensions merely by reading technical specs. The pic underneath will give you a much better sense of the sensor dimensions in the M-Monochrom and S1H.

As you can tell, the two cameras come with the identical sensor size but not the same MP. You should expect to see the Panasonic S1H to offer you more detail as a result of its extra 6MP. Greater resolution can also allow you to crop images a good deal more aggressively. The more aged M-Monochrom is going to be behind with regard to sensor technology.
