Often, it is very hard to picture the gap in sensor measurements purely by going through a spec sheet. The graphic here will help offer you a much better sense of the sensor sizing in the Fujifilm X30 and FH25.

Clearly, both the cameras feature different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The Fujifilm X30 with its larger sensor is going to make getting shallower depth of field easier and the Panasonic FH25 will provide greater detail having an extra 4MP. Greater resolution will also enable you to crop images way more aggressively. The younger Fujifilm X30 provides an advantage in sensor innovation.
