To sum up, both cameras feature the identical sensor size but not the same megapixels. You can expect to see the Panasonic FH27 to show greater detail as a result of its extra 4 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also make it easier to crop images way more aggressively. The newer N Facebook ready is going to have an advantage in sensor innovation.
