Sometimes, it's hard to visualise the difference in sensor sizes just by checking out technical specs. The pic below will provide you a greater sense of the sensor sizes in the EX-FC150 and P7700.

As you have seen, both of the cameras have different resolutions and different sensor sizes. The EX-FC150 because of its smaller sensor will make shooting shallow depth of field trickier and the Nikon P7700 will provide greater detail having its extra 2 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also enable you to crop pictures a bit more aggressively. The more aged EX-FC150 will be disadvantaged with regard to sensor innovation.
