The SX220 HS was brought out 16 months prior to the ZS15 which makes the cameras a generation away from one another. Each of the cameras come with the identical body type (Compact).

Before diving in to a step-by-step comparison, below is a brief highlight of how the SX220 HS matches up versus the ZS15 in terms of portability, imaging, features and an overall score.

Here is a preview of the gallery images for Canon SX220 HS and Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZS15. The entire galleries are viewable at Canon SX220 HS Gallery and Panasonic ZS15 Gallery.

Typically, it can be hard to envision the difference between sensor sizes purely by going over a spec sheet. The picture underneath will help give you a much better sense of the sensor sizing in the SX220 HS and ZS15.

As you can see, the two cameras have got the exact same sensor measurements and the identical MP therefore you should expect similar quality of photographs however you will want to take the production date of the products into consideration. The more aged SX220 HS is going to be behind in sensor technology.
