In case you're intending to lug around your camera, you will want to factor its weight and volume.

Normally, it's difficult to visualise the difference in sensor measurements only by looking through a spec sheet. The photograph here might give you a better sense of the sensor sizes in the L22 and FH3.

Clearly, the two cameras provide the same sensor dimensions albeit not the same MP. You can count on the Panasonic FH3 to result in more detail due to its extra 2 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also make it easier to crop photographs more aggressively.
