The S1H was announced 5 years later than the WX220 and that is a fairly significant gap as far as camera technology is concerned. Both of the cameras feature different body design with the Panasonic S1H being a SLR-style mirrorless camera and the Sony WX220 being a Ultracompact camera.

Before delving right into a step-by-step comparison, here is a concise highlight of how the S1H scores versus the WX220 with respect to portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

The following is a preview of the gallery photos for Panasonic Lumix DC-S1H and Sony Cyber-shot DSC-WX220. The whole galleries are viewable at Panasonic S1H Gallery and Sony WX220 Gallery.

When you are intending to lug around your camera, you'll need to take into account its weight and measurements. The Panasonic S1H provides physical dimensions of 151mm x 114mm x 110mm (5.9" x 4.5" x 4.3") having a weight of 1052 grams (2.32 lbs) while the Sony WX220 has proportions of 92mm x 52mm x 22mm (3.6" x 2.0" x 0.9") having a weight of 121 grams (0.27 lbs).

Take into account, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will differ depending on the lens you use during that time. Here is a front view overall size comparison of the S1H vs the WX220.

Taking into consideration dimensions and weight, the portability score of the S1H and WX220 is 52 and 96 respectively.

Normally, it is difficult to imagine the contrast in sensor measurements merely by checking out a spec sheet. The photograph below will help provide you a far better sense of the sensor dimensions in the S1H and WX220.

As you can see, the two cameras feature different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The S1H using its bigger sensor is going to make shooting shallower depth of field easier and the Panasonic S1H will show greater detail with its extra 6 Megapixels. Higher resolution will allow you to crop photographs way more aggressively. The fresher S1H should have a benefit with regard to sensor innovation.
