Do you mean which camera/lens combo is better than the other or about the image themselves?

Any meaningful comparison is pointless with 200kb images other than very high level observations. Also were they generated from RAW file or in camera JPGs?

The Lumix images look like they've had the contrast & saturation boosted significantly and are noticeably brighter. White balance looks a bit off in the canon shot but easily fixed in the raw file.

Field of view looks narrower in the Canon also, albeit not by much.

My overall impression is that the lumix shots look processed whereas the canon ones probably have more latitude for processing if you have the RAW file but without more info, more detailed conclusions are harder to make.

Without sounding too blunt... What are you trying to prove/assess?
