The S1H was released 5 years later than the LF1 and that is quite a large gap as far as technology is concerned. Each of these cameras come with different body type with the Panasonic S1H being a SLR-style mirrorless camera and the Panasonic LF1 being a Compact camera.

Before getting through a thorough comparison, below is a simple view of how the S1H grades against the LF1 for portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

This is a sample of the gallery pictures for Panasonic Lumix DC-S1H and Panasonic Lumix DMC-LF1. The complete galleries are available at Panasonic S1H Gallery and Panasonic LF1 Gallery.

Normally, it is very difficult to visualise the contrast between sensor measurements simply by reading specifications. The graphic underneath may offer you a greater sense of the sensor sizes in the S1H and LF1.

To sum up, each of these cameras posses different megapixels and different sensor measurements. The S1H because of its larger sensor will make achieving shallow DOF easier and the Panasonic S1H will offer you more detail as a result of its extra 12MP. Greater resolution will let you crop images somewhat more aggressively. The more recent S1H will have a benefit in sensor innovation.
