As you can tell, the 2 cameras have different megapixels and different sensor measurements. The FZ1000 II with its bigger sensor is going to make shooting shallow DOF simpler and the Panasonic FZ1000 II will deliver extra detail having an extra 6 Megapixels. Higher resolution will allow you to crop shots a bit more aggressively. The more recent FZ1000 II should have a benefit in sensor innovation.
