Normally, it is very tough to imagine the gap in sensor sizes merely by going through specifications. The image here might provide you a stronger sense of the sensor dimensions in the S1R and GX850.

To sum up, each of these cameras offer different resolutions and different sensor sizes. The S1R because of its larger sensor is going to make getting shallow depth of field less difficult and the Panasonic S1R will provide greater detail due to its extra 31 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also enable you to crop images a little more aggressively. The more recent S1R should have a benefit with regard to sensor innovation.
