Clearly, both the cameras posses different megapixels and different sensor dimensions. The FH27 featuring a smaller sensor is going to make shooting shallower DOF more challenging and the Panasonic FH27 will provide you with extra detail as a result of its extra 6MP. Greater resolution will also allow you to crop pics somewhat more aggressively. The more modern FH27 should have a benefit in sensor technology.
