Usually, it is very hard to visualise the contrast between sensor sizing just by reading through specs. The visual here will help provide you a more clear sense of the sensor measurements in the F5 and FH25.

As you can plainly see, both of the cameras posses the exact same sensor measurements albeit not the same MP. You can count on the Panasonic FH25 to give more detail having its extra 2 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also let you crop pictures somewhat more aggressively. The more modern F5 will have a benefit in sensor innovation.
