The FH10 due to its smaller sensor is going to make getting shallow depth of field trickier and the Panasonic GH5 will result in extra detail as a result of its extra 4MP. Higher resolution will make it easier to crop shots a good deal more aggressively. The more aged FH10 will be behind in sensor technology.
