Usually, its hard to imagine the gap between sensor sizing only by looking at technical specs. The visual underneath may provide you a greater sense of the sensor measurements in the FE-25 and RZ10.

As you have seen, each of these cameras have got the exact same sensor measurements albeit different MP. You should expect the Pentax RZ10 to give you more detail because of its extra 4 Megapixels. Higher resolution will let you crop photographs much more aggressively. The older FE-25 is going to be disadvantaged in sensor tech.
