More often than not, it's tough to picture the contrast between sensor sizing purely by looking at specs. The graphic here will offer you a clearer sense of the sensor dimensions in the S6000 and FH10.

As you can plainly see, each of the cameras posses the exact same sensor measurements albeit different resolution. You should count on the Panasonic FH10 to give you greater detail using its extra 2MP. Higher resolution can also allow you to crop shots somewhat more aggressively. The older S6000 is going to be disadvantaged with regard to sensor tech.
