In many cases, its tough to see the contrast in sensor sizes just by researching specs. The pic here will provide you a stronger sense of the sensor measurements in the FH10 and LS5.
All in all, both of those cameras enjoy the same exact sensor sizing albeit not the same MP. You can expect the Panasonic FH10 to render extra detail having its extra 2 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also enable you to crop shots far more aggressively. The younger FH10 is going to have a benefit in sensor tech.
