Oftentimes, its hard to picture the contrast in sensor sizing merely by looking through a spec sheet. The photograph here might provide you a far better sense of the sensor measurements in the FZ28 and FZ300.

Clearly, the 2 cameras provide the same sensor dimensions albeit different MP. You should expect the Panasonic FZ300 to result in extra detail because of its extra 2MP. Higher resolution will make it easier to crop photographs more aggressively. The older FZ28 will be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor technology.
