Plainly, each of the cameras offer different megapixels and different sensor dimensions. The S1R featuring a bigger sensor will make shooting shallower DOF easier and the Panasonic S1R will produce extra detail due to its extra 31 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also allow you to crop pictures a little more aggressively. The younger S1R will have a benefit with regard to sensor innovation.
