Quite often, it can be tough to picture the gap between sensor sizes merely by checking specifications. The pic underneath will give you a more clear sense of the sensor dimensions in the S110 and FH25.

Plainly, the two cameras feature different resolutions and different sensor sizes. The S110 having a bigger sensor is going to make shooting shallower depth of field easier and the Panasonic FH25 will give greater detail with its extra 4 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also help you crop photographs way more aggressively. The more modern S110 should have an edge in sensor technology.
