More often than not, its tough to visualize the contrast between sensor measurements only by reading through specifications. The photograph below will help provide you a stronger sense of the sensor sizes in the Fujifilm Z300 and FP7.
Plainly, each of the cameras have the same sensor dimensions albeit different MP. You can count on the Panasonic FP7 to give you greater detail having an extra 6 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also enable you to crop photographs a bit more aggressively. The older Fujifilm Z300 is going to be behind in sensor technology.
