As you have seen, the two cameras come with different megapixels and different sensor dimensions. The FS25 featuring a tinier sensor will make getting shallower DOF more difficult and the Panasonic FS25 will resolve greater detail due to its extra 2 Megapixels. Greater resolution will let you crop images a good deal more aggressively. The more aged FS25 is going to be disadvantaged with regard to sensor technology.
