Quite often, it's difficult to imagine the difference in sensor dimensions just by checking out a spec sheet. The pic here may provide you a clearer sense of the sensor measurements in the S1H and WX10.

As you can see, both cameras offer different resolutions and different sensor dimensions. The S1H having a larger sensor is going to make getting shallower DOF easier and the Panasonic S1H will show more detail because of its extra 8 Megapixels. Greater resolution will allow you to crop photos a little more aggressively. The newer S1H provides a benefit in sensor tech.
