In many cases, it's difficult to visualise the contrast in sensor measurements only by going through specs. The graphic below might give you a far better sense of the sensor measurements in the Fujifilm F550 EXR and ZS70.
As you can plainly see, each of these cameras offer different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The Fujifilm F550 EXR having a larger sensor will make achieving bokeh easier and the Panasonic ZS70 will show more detail because of its extra 4MP. Greater resolution will also let you crop pics a little more aggressively. The older Fujifilm F550 EXR will be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor technology.
