Typically, its tough to envision the contrast between sensor sizing purely by checking specs. The photograph here will offer you a far better sense of the sensor sizes in the Fujifilm X100T and FZ80.

All in all, both of the cameras posses different resolutions and different sensor sizing. The Fujifilm X100T because of its larger sensor will make shooting shallow depth of field simpler and the Panasonic FZ80 will give you extra detail as a result of its extra 2MP. Greater resolution will also allow you to crop images somewhat more aggressively. The older Fujifilm X100T is going to be disadvantaged with regard to sensor technology.
