Panasonic S1H vs Panasonic L10 Sensor Comparison

Quite often, it is very hard to visualise the difference between sensor dimensions just by reviewing technical specs. The image here will give you a clearer sense of the sensor dimensions in the S1H and L10.

As you can tell, both of these cameras enjoy different megapixels and different sensor dimensions. The S1H using its bigger sensor will make achieving shallower DOF less difficult and the Panasonic S1H will offer you greater detail with its extra 14MP. Higher resolution will let you crop shots far more aggressively. The younger S1H is going to have an advantage in sensor technology.
