As you have seen, both of these cameras feature different resolutions and different sensor dimensions. The FE-4000 due to its smaller sensor is going to make shooting shallower depth of field more difficult and the Panasonic G6 will provide more detail as a result of its extra 4MP. Greater resolution will enable you to crop pics way more aggressively. The more aged FE-4000 will be disadvantaged with regard to sensor innovation.
