Normally, it's difficult to envision the difference in sensor measurements simply by checking out technical specs. The photograph here might provide you a more clear sense of the sensor sizes in the S1H and W570.

As you have seen, both of the cameras come with different megapixels and different sensor measurements. The S1H having a larger sensor will make getting shallower depth of field easier and the Panasonic S1H will produce more detail with its extra 8 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also help you crop images a good deal more aggressively. The younger S1H will have a benefit in sensor tech.
