As you can see, both of those cameras posses different megapixels and different sensor measurements. The 10D due to its larger sensor will make achieving bokeh easier and the Panasonic FH22 will provide you with greater detail having its extra 8 Megapixels. Greater resolution will let you crop pics somewhat more aggressively. The older 10D will be disadvantaged with regard to sensor innovation.
