Sometimes, it's hard to visualise the difference between sensor sizing only by looking at technical specs. The photograph below will help provide you a clearer sense of the sensor dimensions in the E-410 and FH27.

As you have seen, both of these cameras offer different megapixel count and different sensor sizing. The E-410 because of its larger sensor will make achieving shallow depth of field simpler and the Panasonic FH27 will resolve greater detail having its extra 6MP. Greater resolution will let you crop images a little more aggressively. The older E-410 is going to be behind in sensor tech.
