Plainly, each of the cameras come with different megapixels and different sensor measurements. The 1s using its smaller sensor is going to make achieving shallower DOF tougher and the Panasonic FZ1000 will render greater detail because of its extra 8MP. Greater resolution will also make it easier to crop pics a good deal more aggressively. The younger 1s provides an advantage when it comes to sensor technology.
