All in all, the 2 cameras have different resolutions and different sensor dimensions. The E-PL1s having a smaller sensor is going to make shooting shallow DOF trickier and the Panasonic S1H will render greater detail having an extra 12MP. Greater resolution will make it easier to crop images a bit more aggressively. The more aged E-PL1s will be behind in sensor tech.
