Plainly, each of the cameras offer different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The S1 using its larger sensor is going to make shooting shallow depth of field less difficult and the Panasonic S1 will render more detail using its extra 10 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also make it easier to crop pics a little more aggressively. The younger S1 provides an advantage in sensor technology.
