Quite often, it is very tough to visualize the contrast in sensor sizing simply by researching specifications. The photograph underneath should give you a far better sense of the sensor measurements in the FH25 and A99 II.

Plainly, the two cameras have different megapixel count and different sensor sizing. The FH25 with its smaller sensor is going to make shooting shallower depth of field more challenging and the Sony A99 II will render more detail having an extra 26 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also allow you to crop pics a bit more aggressively. The older FH25 will be behind in sensor technology.
