Clearly, each of these cameras have different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The S1R featuring a larger sensor is going to make getting shallow DOF simpler and the Panasonic S1R will deliver extra detail as a result of its extra 27MP. Greater resolution will also make it easier to crop photos a bit more aggressively. The newer S1R provides a benefit when it comes to sensor innovation.
