With first person you can only really know what the character knows, without tangibly changing perspective, whereas with third person you can meander around the protagonist, occasionally mentioning things they weren't quite aware of, and getting insight that they didn't have access to.

It's much easier to get the tenses right, as well as foreshadowing and subtlety with third than first, but it feels a little bit more impersonal.
