The Z8 was released 3 years later than the S1H and that is a fairly sizable gap as far as camera tech is concerned. Each of the cameras come with the identical body type (SLR-style mirrorless).

Before we go straight into a detailed comparison, below is a brief view of how the Z8 matches up versus the S1H in the way of portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

The following is a sample of the gallery pictures for Nikon Z8 and Panasonic Lumix DC-S1H. The complete galleries are available at Nikon Z8 Gallery and Panasonic S1H Gallery.

Oftentimes, it's hard to visualise the gap in sensor measurements merely by viewing technical specs. The visual underneath will help provide you a more clear sense of the sensor sizes in the Z8 and S1H.

As you have seen, both of those cameras have got the exact same sensor measurements but not the same resolution. You should anticipate the Nikon Z8 to render greater detail as a result of its extra 22MP. Greater resolution will also help you crop pics much more aggressively. The more recent Z8 is going to have an edge in sensor innovation.
