In many cases, its tough to imagine the gap in sensor sizing only by researching a spec sheet. The visual underneath should give you a clearer sense of the sensor sizing in the Fujifilm S2000HD and FZ1000 II.

Clearly, each of the cameras offer different megapixels and different sensor sizing. The Fujifilm S2000HD with its smaller sensor is going to make achieving shallower DOF more difficult and the Panasonic FZ1000 II will provide you with greater detail using its extra 10 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also allow you to crop photographs a little more aggressively. The older Fujifilm S2000HD will be disadvantaged in sensor innovation.
