All in all, both of the cameras provide different megapixels and different sensor dimensions. The FX700 with its tinier sensor is going to make getting shallower depth of field tougher and the Panasonic FX700 will deliver extra detail having an extra 2MP. Higher resolution will allow you to crop pictures more aggressively. The more aged FX700 is going to be disadvantaged with regard to sensor technology.
