Plainly, the two cameras come with different megapixels and different sensor sizes. The Mini due to its smaller sensor is going to make achieving shallower depth of field tougher and the Panasonic FP5 will provide extra detail having its extra 4 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also let you crop photos a good deal more aggressively.
