As you can tell, the two cameras provide different megapixels and different sensor dimensions. The FH10 due to its tinier sensor is going to make shooting shallow depth of field harder and the Panasonic GX8 will give greater detail utilizing its extra 4MP. Greater resolution will let you crop pics more aggressively. The more aged FH10 is going to be disadvantaged in sensor tech.
