Panasonic FH7 vs Sony HX90V Sensor Comparison
Oftentimes, it is very tough to visualise the difference between sensor sizing merely by reviewing a spec sheet. The photograph underneath should provide you a far better sense of the sensor sizing in the FH7 and HX90V.

Higher resolution can also enable you to crop photographs somewhat more aggressively. The older FH7 is going to be disadvantaged with regard to sensor technology.
