More often than not, it is very tough to picture the difference between sensor measurements purely by reading through technical specs. The graphic here will give you a clearer sense of the sensor sizing in the A1000 and FH6.

As you can tell, each of these cameras have the same sensor dimensions albeit different resolution. You should count on the Nikon A1000 to resolve more detail due to its extra 2 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also enable you to crop shots a bit more aggressively. The younger A1000 provides an advantage in sensor innovation.
