Plainly, both the cameras posses different megapixels and different sensor sizes. The FH22 with its smaller sensor is going to make shooting shallow DOF tougher and the Panasonic FH22 will render more detail because of its extra 4MP. Higher resolution will also allow you to crop photographs somewhat more aggressively. The more recent FH22 should have an advantage when it comes to sensor technology.
