The P900 was revealed 5 years before the FZ1000 II which is quite a significant difference as far as tech is concerned. Both of the cameras come with the identical body type (SLR-like (bridge)).

Before diving straight into a complete comparison, below is a quick overview of how the P900 scores against the FZ1000 II with regard to portability, imaging, features and an overall score.

Oftentimes, it is very hard to visualise the difference between sensor sizes purely by reading technical specs. The image here may offer you a clearer sense of the sensor dimensions in the P900 and FZ1000 II.

As you can tell, both of the cameras have got different megapixels and different sensor sizes. The P900 having a tinier sensor will make achieving shallower DOF trickier and the Panasonic FZ1000 II will offer more detail because of its extra 4MP. Greater resolution can also make it easier to crop images much more aggressively. The more aged P900 is going to be disadvantaged in sensor technology.
