All in all, both the cameras enjoy different megapixel count and different sensor sizes. The FH25 having a smaller sensor is going to make getting shallower DOF more difficult and the Panasonic FH25 will provide you with extra detail because of its extra 6MP. Greater resolution can also make it easier to crop images far more aggressively. The more recent FH25 provides an edge in sensor tech.
