Generally, it's hard to see the contrast between sensor dimensions merely by looking at specs. The image underneath should give you a clearer sense of the sensor dimensions in the B500 and FZ28.

All in all, both of those cameras have the same sensor dimensions albeit not the same megapixels. You should expect the Nikon B500 to give greater detail because of its extra 6 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also help you crop pictures a bit more aggressively. The younger B500 is going to have an advantage in sensor technology.
