As you can plainly see, the two cameras posses different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The S1R with its larger sensor is going to make shooting bokeh simpler and the Panasonic S1R will give greater detail using its extra 35MP. Greater resolution will make it easier to crop photos somewhat more aggressively. The younger S1R provides an advantage with regard to sensor technology.
