Oftentimes, it's difficult to envision the contrast in sensor dimensions only by viewing technical specs. The image underneath will help provide you a more clear sense of the sensor dimensions in the FP1 and FP7.

As you can tell, each of the cameras enjoy the same exact sensor sizing but not the same megapixels. You can expect to see the Panasonic FP7 to result in more detail having an extra 4MP. Greater resolution will make it easier to crop images far more aggressively. The more aged FP1 will be behind when it comes to sensor technology.
