All in all, each of these cameras have the same sensor dimensions but not the same MP. You should anticipate the Panasonic FH10 to render more detail using its extra 4 Megapixels. Greater resolution will let you crop pics a bit more aggressively. The more recent TG-6 is going to have a benefit when it comes to sensor tech.
