Typically, it's hard to visualise the contrast in sensor sizes simply by researching a spec sheet. The image below will help give you a greater sense of the sensor sizing in the FE-25 and FP3.

Clearly, both of the cameras feature the identical sensor size albeit not the same MP. You should expect the Panasonic FP3 to provide you with extra detail due to its extra 4MP. Higher resolution will let you crop pictures way more aggressively. The more aged FE-25 will be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor innovation.
