Quite often, it is very hard to visualize the contrast between sensor dimensions only by checking a spec sheet. The pic below may give you a more clear sense of the sensor dimensions in the P7800 and FH25.

Clearly, both the cameras come with different megapixels and different sensor dimensions. The P7800 having a larger sensor is going to make achieving shallow depth of field easier and the Panasonic FH25 will resolve extra detail with its extra 4 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also let you crop pics a good deal more aggressively. The fresher P7800 should have a benefit in sensor tech.
