The FH25 was revealed 12 months later than the I-10 which means that they are both of a similar generation. Each of these cameras feature the same body design (Compact).

Usually, it is difficult to visualise the difference between sensor measurements merely by checking specifications. The photograph underneath should offer you a greater sense of the sensor sizes in the FH25 and I-10.

Plainly, the 2 cameras come with the identical sensor size but not the same resolution. You should anticipate the Panasonic FH25 to give extra detail because of its extra 4MP. Greater resolution will allow you to crop photos a good deal more aggressively. The more recent FH25 will have an edge in sensor tech.
