Often, it is very difficult to visualise the gap in sensor measurements only by looking through specifications. The visual here might provide you a greater sense of the sensor dimensions in the FH5 and S2.

To sum up, both of the cameras come with the identical sensor size albeit not the same megapixels. You can count on the Panasonic FH5 to render extra detail with its extra 2MP. Higher resolution can also make it easier to crop pictures a good deal more aggressively. The older FH5 will be behind with regard to sensor innovation.
