To sum up, both of these cameras have got different megapixel count and different sensor sizes. The FH22 having a smaller sensor will make getting shallow depth of field more difficult and the Panasonic FH22 will provide you with extra detail with its extra 8MP. Higher resolution will also allow you to crop photographs much more aggressively. The more modern FH22 will have a benefit in sensor technology.
