The latter, it's got a larger sensor and newer firmware features / AF.

Q7 over either.

(Q-S1 just a re-skin of the Q7, both are the same for the most part under the hood, but the Q7 is more comfortable)

Course if you can't get a Q7, then the Q-S1.

Q-S1 has AF in video, Q7 doesn't. Q7 has better ergonomics IMO. I have both but if I had to choose one it would be Q7. Better ergonomics is better than video AF for me. YMMV

I have both a Q-7 and a Q-S1. I put a ring of velcro (fuzzy side) around the IR port on the Q-S1 and it helped the ergonomics greatly. I also put an O-ring around the mode dial on the Q-S1 to keep it from turning accidentally. I don't do a lot of video, but the auto-focusing on video (on the Q-S1) did come in handy a couple of times.

Nifty trick with the orings.
