The D10 was brought out 3 years before the FH6 and that is quite a large gap as far as technology is concerned. Each of the cameras offer the identical body type (Compact).

Before going through a full comparison, below is a brief summation of how the D10 grades versus the FH6 with respect to portability, imaging, features and an overall rating.

Below is a sample of the gallery pictures for Canon PowerShot D10 and Panasonic Lumix DMC-FH6. The entire galleries are available at Canon D10 Gallery and Panasonic FH6 Gallery.

If you're looking to carry your camera, you need to factor in its weight and proportions.

Do not forget, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will differ depending on the lens you have chosen during that time. The following is the front view proportions comparison of the D10 compared to the FH6.

Using dimensions and weight, the portability score of the D10 and FH6 is 89 and 96 respectively.

Normally, it is very difficult to picture the contrast between sensor sizing merely by reading technical specs. The photograph underneath should offer you a far better sense of the sensor sizing in the D10 and FH6.

As you have seen, both of the cameras enjoy the same exact sensor sizing but different resolution. You should anticipate the Panasonic FH6 to deliver greater detail having its extra 2MP. Greater resolution can also let you crop images far more aggressively. The older D10 is going to be behind when it comes to sensor innovation.
