Plainly, both of the cameras come with different megapixels and different sensor sizing. The S110 featuring a larger sensor is going to make achieving shallow depth of field less difficult and the Panasonic FH20 will give extra detail having its extra 2MP. Greater resolution will also enable you to crop pics a good deal more aggressively. The more recent S110 should have an advantage when it comes to sensor technology.
