When you are intending to lug around your camera often, you will have to consider its weight and dimensions.

Usually, it can be hard to see the difference between sensor measurements merely by reading through specs. The photograph below might give you a stronger sense of the sensor sizing in the S1 and S2.

All in all, both of the cameras have got the exact same sensor measurements albeit not the same resolution. You can count on the Panasonic S2 to resolve greater detail having its extra 2 Megapixels. Higher resolution will let you crop shots much more aggressively. The older S1 is going to be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor tech.
