The S1R was introduced 9 years later than the HZ10W and that is quite a sizable gap as far as technology is concerned. Both the cameras come with different body type with the Panasonic S1R being a SLR-style mirrorless camera and the Samsung HZ10W being a Compact camera.

Before getting through a in-depth comparison, below is a short summary of how the S1R grades against the HZ10W with regards to portability, imaging, features and an overall rating.

Normally, it is very difficult to visualise the gap between sensor sizing just by looking at a spec sheet. The photograph here should offer you a clearer sense of the sensor sizes in the S1R and HZ10W.

As you can see, each of the cameras posses different resolutions and different sensor sizing. The S1R with its bigger sensor will make getting shallow depth of field simpler and the Panasonic S1R will give extra detail using its extra 37MP. Higher resolution will make it easier to crop shots somewhat more aggressively. The more modern S1R is going to have an advantage with regard to sensor innovation.
