The S1H was introduced 4 years prior to the S5 II X which is quite a sizable difference as far as technology is concerned. Both the cameras feature the same body design (SLR-style mirrorless).

Before getting straight to a step-by-step comparison, here is a concise summation of how the S1H matches up versus the S5 II X with regard to portability, imaging, features and an overall mark.

Always remember, the weight of an ILC will change dependant on the lens you use at that moment. Following is a front view over all size comparison of the S1H compared to the S5 II X.

Taking into account dimensions and weight, the portability score of the S1H and S5 II X is 52 and 59 respectively.

Typically, it can be difficult to see the gap between sensor dimensions just by reviewing specifications. The image here might provide you a stronger sense of the sensor sizing in the S1H and S5 II X.

Plainly, both the cameras come with the identical sensor size and the identical MP and you can expect similar quality of photographs but you should consider the launch date of the products into consideration. The more aged S1H is going to be disadvantaged with regard to sensor innovation.
