Oftentimes, its difficult to picture the difference in sensor measurements simply by checking out technical specs. The photograph here may give you a greater sense of the sensor measurements in the FZ2500 and H300.

As you can tell, the 2 cameras posses the exact same MP albeit different sensor measurements. The FZ2500 comes with the bigger sensor which will make obtaining shallow depth of field easier. The more recent FZ2500 provides an advantage with regard to sensor technology.
