Panasonic S1 vs Panasonic FH7 Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Usually, it is hard to envision the contrast in sensor dimensions merely by viewing a spec sheet. The pic underneath will help give you a greater sense of the sensor sizes in the S1 and FH7.
Clearly, the 2 cameras enjoy different resolutions and different sensor dimensions. The S1 using its larger sensor will make shooting shallow DOF easier and the Panasonic S1 will result in more detail with its extra 8MP. Greater resolution will make it easier to crop images far more aggressively. The more modern S1 will have an edge when it comes to sensor innovation.
