Plainly, both of those cameras have different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The P7700 because of its bigger sensor is going to make getting shallow depth of field less difficult and the Panasonic FH22 will provide extra detail due to its extra 2MP. Higher resolution can also let you crop pictures a bit more aggressively. The fresher P7700 should have an advantage with regard to sensor tech.
