Oftentimes, it's tough to imagine the gap in sensor sizing purely by going through specifications. The photograph underneath may give you a clearer sense of the sensor sizes in the EX-FH25 and FZ1000.

Plainly, both of these cameras come with different resolutions and different sensor sizing. The EX-FH25 due to its smaller sensor is going to make getting shallow depth of field trickier and the Panasonic FZ1000 will show greater detail having its extra 10MP. Higher resolution will also help you crop pictures a good deal more aggressively. The older EX-FH25 will be behind with regard to sensor technology.
