Oftentimes, its tough to picture the contrast between sensor sizing purely by reading through specifications. The photograph here will give you a much better sense of the sensor dimensions in the S1R and KP.

Plainly, the 2 cameras have got different megapixels and different sensor sizing. The S1R because of its bigger sensor is going to make achieving shallower depth of field simpler and the Panasonic S1R will give you extra detail as a result of its extra 23 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also enable you to crop pictures much more aggressively. The fresher S1R should have an advantage with regard to sensor tech.
