Before getting straight into a thorough comparison, below is a brief synopsis of how the S70 matches up vs the FP7 for portability, imaging, features and an overall mark.

Following is a sample of the gallery pics for Nikon Coolpix S70 and Panasonic Lumix DMC-FP7. The full galleries are provided at Nikon S70 Gallery and Panasonic FP7 Gallery.

In case you're aiming to travel with your camera regularly, you will need to factor its weight and measurements.

Generally, it is very tough to visualise the contrast between sensor dimensions only by reading specifications. The image below might provide you a stronger sense of the sensor dimensions in the S70 and FP7.

Plainly, both of those cameras posses the exact same sensor measurements but not the same MP. You should expect to see the Panasonic FP7 to offer you more detail having an extra 4MP. Greater resolution will also let you crop images somewhat more aggressively. The more aged S70 is going to be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor innovation.
