As you have seen, both cameras offer different megapixels and different sensor sizes. The FH10 having a tinier sensor is going to make achieving shallower depth of field tougher and the Panasonic FH10 will give extra detail with its extra 4 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also help you crop pics a little more aggressively. The more aged FH10 is going to be behind when it comes to sensor innovation.
