Quite often, its hard to envision the gap between sensor sizing just by looking at a spec sheet. The visual below will give you a far better sense of the sensor measurements in the Fujifilm Z300 and FP5.

As you can see, the 2 cameras come with the identical sensor size albeit not the same MP. You should count on the Panasonic FP5 to give you more detail with its extra 4MP. Higher resolution will also allow you to crop pictures a good deal more aggressively. The older Fujifilm Z300 is going to be disadvantaged in sensor technology.
