Does the larger lens on Canon S10 & S100 make a diff?

I noticed the pretty new larger lens on the new Canon HF S10 and HF S100. However its an expensive camera, so I wanted to see if anyone knows what (if any) benefit the larger glass gives you. I know it won't improved the HD, that's the chip set, but is there anything that is really gained? The aperture of the system remains the same from the other camera's in the canon line.

Thoughts?

thanks

larger lens (58mm vs 37mm filter diameter) and the larger imaging chips (1/2.6" vs 1/3.2"), the low-light behavior should be much better than their predecessors. In good light pretty much all camcorders do just fine.

If they recorded DV/HDV rather than AVCHD, I'd probably buy them.
