More often than not, it is very difficult to visualize the difference in sensor dimensions purely by checking out specifications. The pic underneath will give you a much better sense of the sensor sizes in the S1 and WB50F.

To sum up, both of the cameras feature different resolutions and different sensor dimensions. The S1 due to its bigger sensor is going to make getting shallow depth of field less difficult and the Panasonic S1 will provide more detail having its extra 8MP. Higher resolution will also make it easier to crop shots way more aggressively. The fresher S1 should have an edge when it comes to sensor technology.
