Sometimes, it can be hard to visualize the contrast in sensor sizing only by viewing a spec sheet. The graphic underneath will help offer you a clearer sense of the sensor sizes in the EX-FH100 and DP2.

As you can see, the two cameras provide different megapixels and different sensor sizing.

Higher resolution will make it easier to crop pictures more aggressively. The fresher EX-FH100 should have an edge with regard to sensor technology.
