I made a topic a little while back asking if the HFS21 was a good choice. It seemed like it was, though now upgraded versions of those cameras have come out.
I was looking at the specs of different cameras and came down to the two in the topic title. I just need someone to do a comparison of the two and how each one is better or worse in the other, regarding different areas.

There are a few things I don't get. Though the camera in the first link costs significantly more, it seems to have 2.37 megapixels while second one has 6.1. Also, the image sensor for the first one is 1/3 while the second one is 1/2.6. The focal length of the first is smaller than the second. The first one has some positives the latter doesn't but what makes the first so superior and expensive?! Can someone please explain all the differences please??
Thanks so much to anyone who can help!
