Clearly, each of the cameras provide different megapixels and different sensor measurements. The 1100D due to its larger sensor will make achieving shallow depth of field less difficult and the Panasonic FH10 will provide more detail due to its extra 4MP. Greater resolution will also enable you to crop photos more aggressively. The older 1100D will be behind in sensor innovation.
