Typically, it is very tough to visualise the contrast in sensor dimensions just by researching specs. The pic underneath will help provide you a much better sense of the sensor dimensions in the EX-FC150 and LX5.
All in all, both the cameras provide the same megapixels but not the same sensor dimensions. The EX-FC150 has the smaller sensor which is going to make obtaining shallower DOF more challenging. The more aged EX-FC150 will be behind in sensor technology.
