The 7010 was brought out 3 years earlier than the FH6 which is quite a big gap as far as tech is concerned. Each of the cameras offer the identical body type (Compact).

Before going in to a in depth comparison, below is a brief synopsis of how the 7010 scores versus the FH6 when it comes to portability, imaging, features and an overall score.

Following is a preview of the gallery photos for Olympus Stylus 7010 and Panasonic Lumix DMC-FH6. The entire galleries are available at Olympus 7010 Gallery and Panasonic FH6 Gallery.

Oftentimes, it can be difficult to visualise the contrast between sensor sizes only by reviewing technical specs. The image here may provide you a far better sense of the sensor dimensions in the 7010 and FH6.

As you have seen, both of the cameras offer the same exact sensor sizing albeit not the same resolution. You should count on the Panasonic FH6 to offer extra detail having its extra 2MP. Higher resolution will enable you to crop pictures a little more aggressively. The more aged 7010 is going to be disadvantaged in sensor tech.
