Quite often, its hard to visualise the difference in sensor sizing simply by seeing specs. The graphic underneath may offer you a much better sense of the sensor sizes in the A2200 and ZS5.
As you can plainly see, each of the cameras offer the same exact sensor sizing but not the same resolution. You can anticipate the Canon A2200 to show greater detail as a result of its extra 2 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also enable you to crop images a little more aggressively. The fresher A2200 will have an advantage when it comes to sensor innovation.
