Quite often, it can be tough to picture the contrast in sensor sizes just by researching specs. The pic here will offer you a much better sense of the sensor sizes in the A800 and ZS70.
All in all, both of the cameras have the same sensor dimensions but different resolution. You should expect to see the Panasonic ZS70 to provide you with greater detail having its extra 10 Megapixels. Greater resolution will make it easier to crop images a bit more aggressively. The more aged A800 will be behind when it comes to sensor innovation.
