All in all, each of the cameras offer the same exact sensor sizing but different MP. You should anticipate the Panasonic FH10 to show more detail as a result of its extra 2 Megapixels. Greater resolution will make it easier to crop images a little more aggressively. The more modern FH10 provides an advantage with regard to sensor innovation.
