Generally, it is difficult to picture the gap between sensor dimensions purely by reading through a spec sheet. The pic underneath should offer you a greater sense of the sensor measurements in the FS7 and GF2.

Clearly, the 2 cameras posses different megapixels and different sensor dimensions. The FS7 having a tinier sensor is going to make shooting shallow DOF harder and the Panasonic GF2 will give you more detail having an extra 2 Megapixels. Greater resolution will help you crop photos somewhat more aggressively. The more aged FS7 is going to be behind with regard to sensor technology.
