Gorgeous macro !
I like them both but if I had to choose between the two I would choose this one.
Less green, more colour and closer view of the unique hooks on the petals. -
As a happy Casio owner, it pains me to agree that this photo from your new Panasonic is indeed better all-around. ๐
Interestingly, the Panasonic at 200 ISO (this photo) doesn’t look noisier than the Casio at 100 ISO. But both are great and each has its strengths…like time travel, as atanas noted. ๐

Is it ok to compare using a 7 megapixel cam against a 5.5 mpx (or 5 donยดt remember)? …Shouldnยดt a macro always look better -shaper clearer cleaner- at a 7 mpx resolution than at 5.5?
I am just asking. I donยดt truly know.

I like this one better, but my impression is the other one was harder on the camera because the light was more uneven and contrasty, wich led to underexposure in some areas and perception of less color depth.
@Gi: At this size, the megapixel number shouldn’t make a lot of difference. Some 5 or 6 mp could even outperform 7mp sensors because of lower noise, hence, the image is perceived as sharper (that’s a tipical advantage of slr sensors).
If you think about it, the mp number is about the surface of the sensor (side x side, i mean), the real perceived increase between 5 and 7 mp is tiny. Color and shadow depth, contrast and lens quality are far more important. -
Alieness: both the Panasonic DMC-FX7 and Canon EX-Z55 are 5mp, I believe (despite the misleading names!). ๐
Maximo: your point about megapixels not being all-important is a good one. For most purposes, I’d prefer a camera with a better lens to one with 20% or 30% more pixels.

Very special!
Dances with Moths: has more atmosphere, depth, mystery
tickle: is cleaner, lighter brighter, if you want a botanical record
I like the first more, you’ll have to do a duplicate shot for a real comparison though.
Both are in the Ultra class!
— it’s fantastic the way the camera appears to zoom in through the lower petals, kind of bee’s eye view, landing gear down

Having a top-end camera is not needed nowadays to get great pictures, 5-7 mpix in many cases is not really needed.
The winning photo of Finnish Nature Photo 2005 competition was taken by Canon Powershot A70, a 3.2 mpix consumer digi.
