Plainly, both cameras posses different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The S1H due to its larger sensor is going to make achieving shallower depth of field simpler and the Panasonic S1H will give you extra detail as a result of its extra 4MP. Greater resolution will also make it easier to crop images somewhat more aggressively. The newer S1H should have an edge in sensor innovation.
