As you have seen, both the cameras feature different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The C140 because of its tinier sensor will make shooting shallower DOF more challenging and the Panasonic FH20 will offer you greater detail utilizing its extra 6 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also help you crop pictures way more aggressively. The more aged C140 is going to be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor innovation.
