More often than not, it is very tough to visualize the gap in sensor dimensions simply by seeing a spec sheet. The pic underneath will offer you a far better sense of the sensor dimensions in the FZ1000 II and FH10.

Clearly, each of the cameras feature different megapixels and different sensor dimensions. The FZ1000 II having a bigger sensor is going to make achieving shallower depth of field simpler and the Panasonic FZ1000 II will show greater detail with its extra 4 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also make it easier to crop shots way more aggressively. The more recent FZ1000 II should have an advantage when it comes to sensor tech.
