The FH3 was released 7 months prior to the G10 so they are of a similar generation. Both of the cameras feature different body design with the Panasonic FH3 being a Compact camera and the Panasonic G10 being a SLR-style mirrorless camera.

Before delving into a in-depth comparison, here is a concise synopsis of how the FH3 grades versus the G10 with regard to portability, imaging, features and an overall score.

Following is a sample of the gallery pictures for Panasonic Lumix DMC-FH3 and Panasonic Lumix DMC-G10. The complete galleries are provided at Panasonic FH3 Gallery and Panasonic G10 Gallery.

Generally, it can be hard to picture the contrast between sensor sizes merely by looking at technical specs. The image underneath may provide you a far better sense of the sensor measurements in the FH3 and G10.

As you can tell, both the cameras come with different resolutions and different sensor sizes. The FH3 featuring a tinier sensor is going to make achieving shallower DOF more challenging and the Panasonic FH3 will resolve extra detail as a result of its extra 2MP. Greater resolution can also let you crop images a good deal more aggressively. The more aged FH3 is going to be behind when it comes to sensor tech.
