The S1H was brought out 3 years earlier than the A7 IV and that is quite a significant gap as far as technology is concerned. Both of these cameras come with the identical body type (SLR-style mirrorless).

Before diving straight into a full comparison, below is a simple summation of how the S1H matches up vs the A7 IV when it comes to portability, imaging, features and an overall rating.

Below is a preview of the gallery photos for Panasonic Lumix DC-S1H and Sony Alpha A7 IV. The entire galleries are provided at Panasonic S1H Gallery and Sony A7 IV Gallery.

More often than not, it is tough to picture the gap between sensor sizing simply by reading a spec sheet. The photograph here will give you a much better sense of the sensor sizes in the S1H and A7 IV.

As you can see, both cameras have got the exact same sensor measurements albeit different megapixels. You should count on the Sony A7 IV to deliver more detail having its extra 9 Megapixels. Higher resolution will let you crop pictures much more aggressively. The older S1H is going to be disadvantaged in sensor innovation.
