Before diving into a thorough comparison, here is a brief introduction of how the FH5 matches up vs the EX2F with respect to portability, imaging, features and an overall mark.

This is a sample of the gallery pictures for Panasonic Lumix DMC-FH5 and Samsung EX2F. The full galleries are available at Panasonic FH5 Gallery and Samsung EX2F Gallery.

When you are intending to travel with your camera regularly, you'll need to factor its weight and measurements.

Do not forget, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will vary dependant on the lens you select during that time. Below is a front view size comparison of the FH5 against the EX2F.

Looking at dimensions and weight, the portability grade of the FH5 and EX2F is 96 and 90 respectively.

More often than not, it is very difficult to visualise the contrast in sensor dimensions only by checking out a spec sheet. The picture below might offer you a far better sense of the sensor sizes in the FH5 and EX2F.

Clearly, both of the cameras come with different megapixels and different sensor dimensions. The FH5 having a smaller sensor will make achieving bokeh more difficult and the Panasonic FH5 will provide extra detail because of its extra 4 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also enable you to crop pics a good deal more aggressively. The more aged FH5 will be disadvantaged with regard to sensor tech.
