Oftentimes, it is very tough to see the gap in sensor dimensions simply by checking out specifications. The pic below might give you a far better sense of the sensor measurements in the A2300 and ZS60.
To sum up, both of those cameras have the same sensor dimensions albeit not the same megapixels. You can expect the Panasonic ZS60 to provide extra detail utilizing its extra 2 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also help you crop shots a bit more aggressively. The more aged A2300 will be disadvantaged in sensor tech.
