The S1H was manufactured 11 years after the A350 which is a fairly big gap as far as camera technology is concerned. Each of the cameras come with different body type with the Panasonic S1H being a SLR-style mirrorless camera and the Sony A350 being a Compact SLR camera.

Before we go through a comprehensive comparison, below is a brief view of how the S1H matches up against the A350 with regards to portability, imaging, features and an overall score.

More often than not, it is very hard to imagine the contrast in sensor sizes purely by seeing specifications. The pic below should provide you a more clear sense of the sensor sizes in the S1H and A350.

Plainly, both of these cameras posses different megapixels and different sensor sizes. The S1H featuring a bigger sensor is going to make achieving shallow depth of field simpler and the Panasonic S1H will show extra detail due to its extra 10MP. Higher resolution can also make it easier to crop shots somewhat more aggressively. The fresher S1H should have an edge when it comes to sensor innovation.
