Generally, it is very difficult to visualise the contrast in sensor sizing merely by researching specs. The visual here will provide you a more clear sense of the sensor dimensions in the EX-FC150 and A1000.

As you can plainly see, both of these cameras provide the same sensor dimensions but not the same megapixels. You should expect to see the Nikon A1000 to provide you with greater detail as a result of its extra 6MP. Greater resolution will also allow you to crop images more aggressively. The older EX-FC150 will be disadvantaged with regard to sensor innovation.
