As you can see, each of the cameras provide different megapixels and different sensor sizes. The FZ28 due to its smaller sensor is going to make getting shallower depth of field more difficult and the Panasonic G7 will provide you with more detail utilizing its extra 6 Megapixels. Higher resolution will allow you to crop photographs more aggressively. The more aged FZ28 will be disadvantaged in sensor tech.
