Typically, its hard to imagine the gap in sensor measurements merely by seeing specifications. The graphic here will help offer you a much better sense of the sensor measurements in the P7700 and FH27.

Plainly, both of these cameras provide different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The P7700 using its larger sensor is going to make shooting bokeh simpler and the Panasonic FH27 will produce more detail using its extra 4 Megapixels. Greater resolution will allow you to crop photos more aggressively. The more modern P7700 should have a benefit when it comes to sensor tech.
