Often, it's difficult to visualize the difference in sensor measurements only by viewing a spec sheet. The photograph here will help provide you a greater sense of the sensor dimensions in the FP3 and ST93.

As you can see, the 2 cameras enjoy the same exact sensor sizing albeit different resolution. You can count on the Samsung ST93 to result in extra detail having its extra 2MP. Higher resolution will also let you crop shots far more aggressively. The older FP3 will be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor tech.
