As you can plainly see, each of these cameras posses different megapixels and different sensor sizes. The FZ28 having a tinier sensor is going to make getting shallower DOF more challenging and the Panasonic FZ28 will deliver greater detail with its extra 4MP. Greater resolution can also allow you to crop images somewhat more aggressively. The younger FZ28 should have an advantage in sensor innovation.
