All in all, each of the cameras have got different megapixels and different sensor sizes. The S1H having a larger sensor will make getting shallow depth of field easier and the Panasonic S1H will produce extra detail because of its extra 12MP. Greater resolution can also make it easier to crop pics much more aggressively. The more recent S1H will have an advantage in sensor technology.
