To sum up, the 2 cameras have got the exact same sensor measurements but not the same resolution. You can anticipate the Panasonic FH25 to provide more detail having its extra 6MP. Greater resolution will also let you crop images much more aggressively. The younger FH25 is going to have a benefit in sensor technology.
