More often than not, it's hard to picture the gap between sensor dimensions purely by reviewing a spec sheet. The image underneath might give you a clearer sense of the sensor dimensions in the FE-45 and FH25.

Clearly, each of these cameras feature the identical sensor size but different megapixels. You should anticipate the Panasonic FH25 to deliver greater detail with its extra 6 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also enable you to crop images way more aggressively. The more aged FE-45 is going to be behind when it comes to sensor tech.
