Sometimes, its hard to imagine the gap between sensor dimensions merely by going over a spec sheet. The picture here might offer you a clearer sense of the sensor sizes in the 3D1 and FH27.

As you can see, both cameras offer the same exact sensor sizing albeit different megapixels. You should count on the Panasonic FH27 to offer you greater detail using its extra 4 Megapixels. Higher resolution will let you crop photographs a little more aggressively. The more recent 3D1 should have an edge with regard to sensor innovation.
