Sometimes, it is very tough to visualize the gap in sensor sizes merely by checking out a spec sheet. The picture here may give you a better sense of the sensor sizing in the S570 and FH10.

As you can see, the two cameras have the same sensor dimensions albeit different resolution. You should expect the Panasonic FH10 to show more detail using its extra 4 Megapixels. Higher resolution will help you crop pictures a bit more aggressively. The more aged S570 will be behind when it comes to sensor technology.
