In many cases, it can be difficult to envision the difference in sensor sizes just by researching technical specs. The picture here should offer you a greater sense of the sensor sizing in the FE-25 and G95.

As you have seen, the two cameras have different megapixels and different sensor sizes. The FE-25 using its smaller sensor will make getting shallow DOF more difficult and the Panasonic G95 will result in extra detail using its extra 10.3MP. Higher resolution will also make it easier to crop shots a bit more aggressively. The more aged FE-25 will be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor innovation.
