As you can tell, each of these cameras provide different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The M320 because of its tinier sensor is going to make shooting shallower DOF tougher and the Panasonic FS15 will deliver more detail due to its extra 3MP. Greater resolution will enable you to crop images more aggressively.
