Sometimes, it is difficult to envision the difference between sensor sizing merely by going over specifications. The graphic here will offer you a much better sense of the sensor sizes in the FH2 and FX90.
Plainly, the 2 cameras have got the exact same sensor measurements but not the same resolution. You should expect to see the Panasonic FH2 to offer extra detail because of its extra 2 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also enable you to crop images much more aggressively. The older FH2 is going to be behind in sensor technology.
