Quite often, it's hard to visualize the gap in sensor sizes just by going through a spec sheet. The pic here should provide you a better sense of the sensor sizing in the Touch and FZ300.

As you can see, both the cameras have different megapixels and different sensor sizes. The Touch due to its smaller sensor is going to make shooting shallower DOF more challenging and the Kodak Touch will show greater detail as a result of its extra 2 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also let you crop photos a bit more aggressively. The more aged Touch will be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor innovation.
