Quite often, it is tough to visualise the gap in sensor sizing just by checking out specs. The graphic below should offer you a far better sense of the sensor measurements in the S1H and G7.

All in all, both of those cameras posses different resolutions and different sensor sizing. The S1H featuring a bigger sensor will make achieving shallow DOF easier and the Panasonic S1H will provide extra detail as a result of its extra 8 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also let you crop shots somewhat more aggressively. The more modern S1H will have an advantage when it comes to sensor tech.
