Quite often, it is tough to envision the gap between sensor sizing just by going over specs. The photograph here should give you a better sense of the sensor dimensions in the FS25 and G7.

All in all, both of the cameras enjoy different megapixel count and different sensor sizing. The FS25 with its tinier sensor will make shooting shallow depth of field more difficult and the Panasonic G7 will offer extra detail with its extra 4MP. Greater resolution will allow you to crop images far more aggressively. The older FS25 is going to be behind with regard to sensor innovation.
