Generally, it's tough to imagine the gap in sensor dimensions only by looking through specifications. The pic below might provide you a clearer sense of the sensor dimensions in the FP7 and G95.

To sum up, both of the cameras provide different megapixels and different sensor dimensions. The FP7 having a smaller sensor is going to make achieving shallow depth of field harder and the Panasonic G95 will render extra detail with its extra 4.3MP. Higher resolution can also let you crop pictures more aggressively. The more aged FP7 will be behind with regard to sensor innovation.
