Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Sony W610 is significantly lighter (52g ) than the Panasonic FH3 which may become a big advantage especially on long walking trips.
Weather Sealing
Unfortunately neither the Panasonic Lumix DMC-FH3 (Lumix DMC-FS11) nor Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W610 provides any type of weather sealing in their bodies, so you have to give extra care especially when you are shooting outdoors.

LCD Screen Size and Features
Panasonic FH3 and Sony W610's LCD screens have the same diagonal size of 2.70 inches.
