Oftentimes, it is very hard to see the difference in sensor sizing purely by checking out specifications. The visual underneath will help give you a more clear sense of the sensor dimensions in the Z50 and S1.

To sum up, both of those cameras come with different megapixels and different sensor sizing. The Z50 featuring a smaller sensor will make achieving shallow depth of field more difficult and the Panasonic S1 will show extra detail as a result of its extra 3MP. Greater resolution will allow you to crop images a good deal more aggressively. The more modern Z50 is going to have a benefit when it comes to sensor innovation.
