Panasonic S1R vs Panasonic 3D1 Sensor Comparison

Often, it's difficult to picture the contrast in sensor measurements simply by checking out technical specs. The graphic here might provide you a better sense of the sensor measurements in the S1R and 3D1.

As you can tell, the two cameras posses different megapixels and different sensor measurements. The S1R using its bigger sensor is going to make shooting shallower DOF easier and the Panasonic S1R will show greater detail with its extra 35MP. Higher resolution will enable you to crop shots somewhat more aggressively. The younger S1R should have an edge in sensor technology.
