Panasonic FZ28 has a
10.0MP 1/2.3-inch (6.08 x 4.56 mm ) sized CCD sensor . On the other hand, Panasonic FZ200 has a
12.0MP 1/2.3-inch (6.17 x 4.55 mm ) sized CMOS sensor and features Venus Engine VII FHD processor.
Below you can see the FZ28 and FZ200 sensor size comparison.
Sensor Size and Resolution Comparison image of Panasonic FZ28 and Panasonic FZ200 Cameras
Panasonic FZ28 and Panasonic FZ200 have almost the same sensor size, so neither of them has any significant advantage over the other in terms of providing control over depth of field when used with the same focal length and aperture.
DxOMark Sensor Scores
DxOMark is a benchmark that scientifically assesses image quality of camera sensors. It scores camera sensors for color depth (DXO Portrait), dynamic range (DXO Landscape) and low-light sensitivity (DXO Sports), and also gives them an overall score. Panasonic FZ28 and Panasonic FZ200 sensors have been tested by DxO and the results show that FZ200 has a better overall score of 37, 10 points higher compared to FZ28's score of 27.

Sensor size sets the circle of confusion, so it drives how much depth of field each
of these bodies gives you at a given aperture. You can calculate it exactly for the
Panasonic FZ28
or the
Panasonic FZ200 ,
including hyperfocal distance.
