More often than not, it's tough to visualize the gap between sensor sizing purely by reading through technical specs. The photograph underneath will help give you a more clear sense of the sensor sizes in the FP7 and FS15.
As you can tell, the two cameras feature the identical sensor size but different MP. You should anticipate the Panasonic FP7 to give extra detail due to its extra 4 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also let you crop pics way more aggressively. The newer FP7 should have a benefit when it comes to sensor innovation.
