The S1H was revealed 8 years later than the S1 and that is a fairly serious difference as far as camera tech is concerned. Each of the cameras feature different body design with the Panasonic S1H being a SLR-style mirrorless camera and the Panasonic S1 being a Compact camera.

Before we go into a in depth comparison, here is a short introduction of how the S1H matches up vs the S1 with regard to portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

The following is a sample of the gallery pictures for Panasonic Lumix DC-S1H & Panasonic Lumix DMC-S1. The full galleries are available at Panasonic S1H Gallery & Panasonic S1 Gallery.

If you are intending to lug around your camera frequently, you will want to factor in its weight and dimensions. The Panasonic S1H offers exterior measurements of 151mm x 114mm x 110mm (5.9" x 4.5" x 4.3") along with a weight of 1052 grams (2.32 lbs) while the Panasonic S1 has dimensions of 99mm x 59mm x 21mm (3.9" x 2.3" x 0.8") having a weight of 117 grams (0.26 lbs).

Don't forget, the weight of an ILC will change depending on the lens you are working with at the time. Following is a front view physical size comparison of the S1H and the S1.

Using size and weight, the portability grade of the S1H and S1 is 52 and 96 respectively.

In many cases, it's tough to imagine the contrast in sensor measurements only by seeing a spec sheet. The visual below may give you a greater sense of the sensor measurements in the S1H and S1.

As you can see, the two cameras come with different megapixels and different sensor measurements. The S1H using its larger sensor is going to make getting shallower DOF easier and the Panasonic S1H will produce greater detail because of its extra 12 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also enable you to crop photos a good deal more aggressively. The more modern S1H should have a benefit with regard to sensor innovation.
