The S95 was released 3 years earlier than the TS25 and that is quite a sizable gap as far as technology is concerned. Both the cameras offer the identical body type (Compact).

Before going straight into a thorough comparison, below is a brief synopsis of how the S95 scores vs the TS25 when it comes to portability, imaging, features and an overall rating.

This is a preview of the gallery photos for Canon PowerShot S95 and Panasonic Lumix DMC-TS25. The complete galleries are available at Canon S95 Gallery and Panasonic TS25 Gallery.

Normally, it can be tough to imagine the gap between sensor sizing just by going over a spec sheet. The photograph below will give you a much better sense of the sensor sizing in the S95 and TS25.

Clearly, both of these cameras enjoy different megapixels and different sensor sizing. The S95 due to its bigger sensor is going to make getting shallower depth of field simpler and the Panasonic TS25 will offer greater detail as a result of its extra 6MP. Higher resolution will let you crop pictures far more aggressively. The older S95 is going to be behind when it comes to sensor innovation.
