The S1H was unveiled 2 years after the LX10 which is a fairly big difference as far as camera technology is concerned. Both the cameras offer different body type with the Panasonic S1H being a SLR-style mirrorless camera and the Panasonic LX10 being a Large Sensor Compact camera.

Before we go in to a in depth comparison, below is a quick summation of how the S1H scores against the LX10 in regards to portability, imaging, features and an overall mark.

For anyone who is going to travel with your camera often, you're going to have to think about its weight and volume.

Don't forget, the weight of an ILC will change based on the lens you are utilising during that time. Here is the front view sizing comparison of the S1H compared to the LX10.

Looking at dimensions and weight, the portability score of the S1H and LX10 is 52 and 88 respectively.

Quite often, it is very difficult to imagine the contrast in sensor dimensions merely by researching a spec sheet. The picture below might give you a greater sense of the sensor sizing in the S1H and LX10.

Clearly, the two cameras enjoy different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The S1H using its bigger sensor is going to make getting shallow depth of field simpler and the Panasonic S1H will result in more detail having an extra 4MP. Higher resolution can also allow you to crop pictures far more aggressively. The newer S1H should have a benefit with regard to sensor innovation.
