Normally, it can be tough to picture the difference in sensor measurements just by viewing technical specs. The graphic below will offer you a far better sense of the sensor dimensions in the HS10 and FZ200.
As you have seen, each of the cameras enjoy the same exact sensor sizing albeit different MP. You can expect the Panasonic FZ200 to result in greater detail as a result of its extra 2MP. Higher resolution will allow you to crop photographs far more aggressively. The older HS10 will be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor tech.
