Clearly, both of the cameras have got different megapixel count and different sensor sizes. The FZ28 due to its tinier sensor is going to make getting shallow depth of field more challenging and the Panasonic LX10 will offer greater detail as a result of its extra 10 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also make it easier to crop photographs much more aggressively. The more aged FZ28 is going to be disadvantaged in sensor tech.
