In many cases, it is difficult to visualize the contrast in sensor sizes purely by researching a spec sheet. The pic here will help give you a clearer sense of the sensor dimensions in the S1H and K10D.

Clearly, both of the cameras posses different megapixels and different sensor sizes. The S1H with its larger sensor is going to make getting shallower DOF simpler and the Panasonic S1H will result in greater detail because of its extra 14 Megapixels. Greater resolution will allow you to crop pics somewhat more aggressively. The younger S1H should have a benefit in sensor innovation.
