Generally, some of the advantages of the Panasonic DMC-FH1 compared to other compact competitors include: it has a slightly wider aperture (f/2.8 vs f/3.5), has a slightly wider wide angle lens (28 mm vs 35 mm), has better image stabilization (lens vs sensor shift), slightly higher boost light sensitivity (6,400 ISO vs none) and has a faster max shutter speed (1/1600 of a second vs 1/1200 of a second).
However, on average it records lower quality movies (720p @ 30fps vs 1080p @ 24fps), has a slightly smaller screen (2.7" vs 3.0"), doesn't record high-speed movies (none vs 240 fps), slightly lower maximum light sensitivity (1,600 ISO vs 3,200 ISO) and doesn't record movies in 24p.
