In many cases, it is very hard to imagine the contrast in sensor dimensions just by going through specs. The picture here will give you a far better sense of the sensor measurements in the EX-FC150 and ZS80.
All in all, the two cameras enjoy the same exact sensor sizing but different megapixels. You should anticipate the Panasonic ZS80 to provide more detail utilizing its extra 10 Megapixels. Greater resolution will help you crop photos far more aggressively. The more aged EX-FC150 will be disadvantaged in sensor tech.
