The S110 was brought out 2 years later than the FH3 and that is a fairly serious difference as far as camera tech is concerned. Both of these cameras have the same body design (Compact).

Before going right into a comprehensive comparison, here is a concise introduction of how the S110 matches up vs the FH3 with regard to portability, imaging, features and an overall rating.

Here is a sample of the gallery pictures for Canon PowerShot S110 & Panasonic Lumix DMC-FH3. The entire galleries are available at Canon S110 Gallery & Panasonic FH3 Gallery.

In many cases, it's difficult to see the difference in sensor sizing simply by researching specifications. The graphic underneath may offer you a better sense of the sensor sizing in the S110 and FH3.

To sum up, both cameras have different megapixel count and different sensor sizing. The S110 due to its larger sensor will make achieving shallower DOF easier and the Panasonic FH3 will result in extra detail having its extra 2MP. Greater resolution will allow you to crop photos a bit more aggressively. The more recent S110 will have a benefit when it comes to sensor innovation.
