The S95 was manufactured 5 years before the ZS45 which is a fairly serious gap as far as camera technology is concerned. Each of these cameras have the same body design (Compact).

Before delving straight to a in-depth comparison, here is a brief view of how the S95 grades vs the ZS45 with regards to portability, imaging, features and an overall mark.

The following is a sample of the gallery pictures for Canon PowerShot S95 and Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZS45. The entire galleries are viewable at Canon S95 Gallery and Panasonic ZS45 Gallery.

Typically, it is very hard to picture the contrast in sensor dimensions only by seeing technical specs. The picture here might provide you a stronger sense of the sensor sizing in the S95 and ZS45.

As you have seen, both cameras provide different resolutions and different sensor dimensions. The S95 because of its larger sensor is going to make achieving bokeh easier and the Panasonic ZS45 will provide greater detail due to its extra 6 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also make it easier to crop pics more aggressively. The more aged S95 will be behind in sensor innovation.
