Typically, it is very tough to visualize the gap in sensor sizes purely by going through specs. The image here will offer you a more clear sense of the sensor sizing in the Z950 and FH27.
All in all, the two cameras posses the exact same sensor measurements but different resolution. You can anticipate the Panasonic FH27 to show extra detail having its extra 4MP. Greater resolution can also make it easier to crop images somewhat more aggressively.
