Normally, it is very hard to see the difference in sensor dimensions simply by seeing a spec sheet. The pic here may offer you a more clear sense of the sensor sizes in the P1000 and FZ150.

Clearly, both of those cameras come with the identical sensor size but not the same megapixels. You can expect to see the Nikon P1000 to show more detail because of its extra 4MP. Greater resolution can also enable you to crop images a good deal more aggressively. The newer P1000 is going to have a benefit with regard to sensor innovation.
