Normally, it can be hard to envision the gap between sensor dimensions merely by reading specs. The picture underneath will give you a better sense of the sensor sizing in the FE-25 and G5.

All in all, both of those cameras come with different megapixels and different sensor dimensions. The FE-25 due to its tinier sensor will make shooting shallow DOF more difficult and the Panasonic G5 will offer you more detail having its extra 6MP. Higher resolution can also enable you to crop photographs a good deal more aggressively. The more aged FE-25 is going to be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor technology.
