Sometimes, it can be difficult to envision the gap between sensor sizes merely by reading technical specs. The picture underneath will give you a far better sense of the sensor dimensions in the SD4500 IS and TS20.
As you can tell, both of those cameras enjoy the same exact sensor sizing but not the same resolution. You should expect to see the Panasonic TS20 to offer greater detail with its extra 6 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also let you crop images far more aggressively.
