As you have seen, both cameras have different megapixels and different sensor measurements. The EX-FH25 using its smaller sensor is going to make shooting shallower depth of field harder and the Sony A6500 will show more detail because of its extra 14 Megapixels. Greater resolution will make it easier to crop images a bit more aggressively. The older EX-FH25 will be behind with regard to sensor tech.
