Quite often, its hard to imagine the contrast between sensor dimensions just by going over a spec sheet. The image underneath will help offer you a far better sense of the sensor dimensions in the D30 and ZS25.

Clearly, each of these cameras posses the exact same sensor measurements but different megapixels. You should expect to see the Panasonic ZS25 to offer greater detail with its extra 4 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also let you crop images somewhat more aggressively. The newer D30 should have an edge in sensor innovation.
