Often, it is very difficult to envision the gap in sensor dimensions merely by researching a spec sheet. The picture underneath might provide you a more clear sense of the sensor measurements in the S200 and FH3.

Clearly, both the cameras posses different resolutions and different sensor dimensions. The S200 with its bigger sensor will make getting shallower depth of field less difficult and the Panasonic FH3 will provide you with more detail using its extra 4 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also help you crop shots somewhat more aggressively. The younger S200 is going to have a benefit with regard to sensor innovation.
