The S1 was brought out 8 years after the G10 which is a fairly serious gap as far as camera technology is concerned. Both of these cameras have the same body design (SLR-style mirrorless).

Before we go right into a thorough comparison, here is a concise summary of how the S1 scores versus the G10 when it comes to portability, imaging, features and an overall mark.

Here is a sample of the gallery pictures for Panasonic Lumix DC-S1 and Panasonic Lumix DMC-G10. The entire galleries are viewable at Panasonic S1 Gallery and Panasonic G10 Gallery.

Quite often, it is very difficult to envision the difference in sensor dimensions just by viewing specifications. The picture below should provide you a far better sense of the sensor sizes in the S1 and G10.

Plainly, both of these cameras provide different resolutions and different sensor dimensions. The S1 due to its larger sensor will make shooting shallower depth of field less difficult and the Panasonic S1 will result in extra detail having its extra 12MP. Greater resolution will also let you crop images more aggressively. The newer S1 will have an edge with regard to sensor technology.
