To sum up, both of these cameras have different megapixel count and different sensor sizes. The S1H because of its larger sensor will make shooting shallow DOF simpler and the Panasonic S1H will provide you with more detail due to its extra 8 Megapixels. Greater resolution will let you crop images a bit more aggressively. The more modern S1H will have a benefit when it comes to sensor technology.
