The S1R was revealed 4 years after the FZ1000 which is a fairly serious difference as far as camera tech is concerned. Each of the cameras feature different body design with the Panasonic S1R being a SLR-style mirrorless camera and the Panasonic FZ1000 being a SLR-like (bridge) camera.

Before getting straight to a more detailed comparison, here is a simple introduction of how the S1R matches up against the FZ1000 for portability, imaging, features and an overall mark.

Oftentimes, it can be hard to envision the contrast in sensor dimensions purely by going through a spec sheet. The image below will help provide you a far better sense of the sensor sizing in the S1R and FZ1000.

Clearly, both of these cameras feature different megapixels and different sensor dimensions. The S1R using its bigger sensor will make getting shallower DOF easier and the Panasonic S1R will show more detail because of its extra 27MP. Higher resolution will make it easier to crop shots way more aggressively. The younger S1R is going to have a benefit when it comes to sensor tech.
