Typically, it is tough to picture the gap between sensor sizes simply by checking technical specs. The pic below will help offer you a far better sense of the sensor dimensions in the FH6 and G7.

As you can tell, both the cameras posses different megapixels and different sensor sizes. The FH6 with its tinier sensor is going to make getting shallow depth of field trickier and the Panasonic G7 will give you extra detail having an extra 2 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also allow you to crop pics somewhat more aggressively. The more aged FH6 is going to be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor innovation.
