The D30 was introduced 3 years later than the FH25 and that is a fairly sizable difference as far as camera technology is concerned. Each of these cameras come with the identical body type (Compact).

Before we go through a step-by-step comparison, below is a brief summary of how the D30 scores versus the FH25 for portability, imaging, features and an overall rating.

Below is a sample of the gallery pics for Canon PowerShot D30 & Panasonic Lumix DMC-FH25. The whole galleries are available at Canon D30 Gallery & Panasonic FH25 Gallery.

When you are going to carry your camera often, you have to think about its weight and dimensions.

Sometimes, it is tough to picture the contrast in sensor sizing only by going through a spec sheet. The photograph underneath will give you a much better sense of the sensor measurements in the D30 and FH25.

Clearly, the 2 cameras posses the exact same sensor measurements but different megapixels. You can expect to see the Panasonic FH25 to produce greater detail using its extra 4 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also let you crop images somewhat more aggressively. The more modern D30 should have an edge when it comes to sensor tech.
