Often, it is very tough to visualise the difference in sensor sizes only by researching technical specs. The pic below might give you a better sense of the sensor dimensions in the FE-25 and GF7.

As you can tell, both of the cameras posses different resolutions and different sensor sizes. The FE-25 having a smaller sensor will make shooting shallower DOF more challenging and the Panasonic GF7 will render more detail with its extra 6 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also make it easier to crop shots somewhat more aggressively. The more aged FE-25 will be disadvantaged in sensor technology.
