Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Panasonic FH2 is significantly lighter (49g ) than the Panasonic FH22 which may become a big advantage especially on long walking trips.
Weather Sealing
Unfortunately neither the Panasonic Lumix DMC-FH2 (Lumix DMC-FS16) nor Panasonic Lumix DMC-FH22 (Lumix DMC-FS33) provides any type of weather sealing in their bodies, so you have to give extra care especially when you are shooting outdoors. If weather sealing is a must-have feature for you, check these sections: Top Compact Cameras with Weather Sealing
LCD Screen Size and Features
Panasonic FH22's 3.00" LCD screen is slightly larger than Panasonic FH2's 2.7" screen.
Unfortunately, both cameras has fixed screens so they don't tilt or flip in directions.
