Normally, it's hard to picture the contrast in sensor dimensions purely by looking through a spec sheet. The image here will offer you a stronger sense of the sensor dimensions in the FZ2500 and WB1100F.

Clearly, both of those cameras offer different resolutions and different sensor dimensions. The FZ2500 having a bigger sensor is going to make getting shallow depth of field simpler and the Panasonic FZ2500 will result in more detail using its extra 4MP. Higher resolution will make it easier to crop shots a little more aggressively. The newer FZ2500 provides a benefit when it comes to sensor tech.
