The SH-1 was released 5 years after the S950 which is quite a large gap as far as technology is concerned. Both of these cameras feature the same body design (Compact).

Typically, it is very difficult to visualize the gap between sensor dimensions purely by looking at a spec sheet. The picture underneath will give you a much better sense of the sensor sizing in the SH-1 and S950.

Clearly, both of those cameras come with the identical sensor size but different megapixels. You should anticipate the Olympus SH-1 to give you greater detail as a result of its extra 6MP. Greater resolution can also allow you to crop images a good deal more aggressively. The fresher SH-1 should have a benefit with regard to sensor innovation.
