Clearly, both of these cameras come with different megapixels and different sensor sizing. The S1H featuring a bigger sensor is going to make getting shallower depth of field easier and the Panasonic S1H will result in more detail utilizing its extra 12 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also let you crop shots a good deal more aggressively. The more recent S1H should have a benefit when it comes to sensor innovation.
