More often than not, its tough to see the difference in sensor measurements just by looking through a spec sheet. The photograph here may offer you a much better sense of the sensor sizing in the FS25 and SZ3.

Clearly, each of the cameras have got the exact same sensor measurements albeit not the same MP. You should expect the Panasonic SZ3 to render more detail using its extra 4MP. Higher resolution will also allow you to crop pictures much more aggressively. The older FS25 will be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor technology.
