The S1H was introduced 6 years later than the H200 and that is a fairly serious gap as far as camera technology is concerned. The two cameras offer different body type with the Panasonic S1H being a SLR-style mirrorless camera and the Sony H200 being a SLR-like (bridge) camera.

Before diving straight into a in-depth comparison, below is a concise view of how the S1H grades vs the H200 when it comes to portability, imaging, features and an overall rating.

Quite often, its hard to see the gap in sensor sizing only by seeing technical specs. The visual below will help offer you a better sense of the sensor measurements in the S1H and H200.

As you can tell, both of the cameras offer different megapixels and different sensor sizing. The S1H having a bigger sensor will make achieving bokeh easier and the Panasonic S1H will produce greater detail using its extra 4MP. Higher resolution can also allow you to crop photographs a little more aggressively. The younger S1H is going to have a benefit with regard to sensor tech.
