The F300EXR having a larger sensor is going to make shooting shallower DOF simpler and the Panasonic ZS60 will produce more detail using its extra 6 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also make it easier to crop images a good deal more aggressively. The more aged F300EXR will be disadvantaged in sensor tech.
