Usually, it is tough to see the difference between sensor sizing merely by checking a spec sheet. The visual underneath should provide you a much better sense of the sensor sizing in the FH7 and G3.

As you can see, both the cameras have got the exact same sensor measurements but not the same megapixels. You can expect to see the Panasonic FH7 to give extra detail due to its extra 6MP. Greater resolution will also allow you to crop photos much more aggressively. The newer FH7 will have an edge in sensor tech.
