As you can tell, both of the cameras posses different resolutions and different sensor sizes. The FZ1000 II because of its smaller sensor is going to make shooting shallower DOF more difficult and the Panasonic FZ1000 II will result in more detail as a result of its extra 14MP. Greater resolution can also make it easier to crop photos somewhat more aggressively. The more modern FZ1000 II provides an advantage in sensor technology.
