Clearly, both of those cameras come with the identical sensor size albeit not the same megapixels. You should count on the Panasonic FH5 to produce more detail utilizing its extra 4 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also allow you to crop pictures a good deal more aggressively. The more aged EX-S12 will be disadvantaged with regard to sensor innovation.
