Typically, its tough to envision the gap in sensor sizing merely by checking out a spec sheet. The visual here may provide you a more clear sense of the sensor dimensions in the FP7 and LS5.
Clearly, each of these cameras have the same sensor dimensions but not the same resolution. You should expect to see the Panasonic FP7 to show more detail as a result of its extra 2MP. Greater resolution will help you crop photos a bit more aggressively.
