Oftentimes, it is very hard to visualise the difference between sensor measurements simply by going over specifications. The visual below will give you a clearer sense of the sensor measurements in the S200EXR and FZ1000 II.

To sum up, each of the cameras posses different megapixels and different sensor measurements. The S200EXR having a tinier sensor will make achieving shallower DOF tougher and the Panasonic FZ1000 II will deliver extra detail because of its extra 8MP. Higher resolution will also allow you to crop pictures somewhat more aggressively. The older S200EXR is going to be disadvantaged with regard to sensor tech.
