As you can see, the two cameras have different resolutions and different sensor sizing. The 1s having a bigger sensor is going to make achieving shallower DOF simpler and the Panasonic FH22 will offer greater detail with its extra 2 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also make it easier to crop photographs a bit more aggressively. The younger 1s should have a benefit with regard to sensor tech.
