More often than not, it is very hard to picture the gap between sensor dimensions only by reviewing a spec sheet. The image underneath might provide you a better sense of the sensor dimensions in the EX-FC150 and ZS60.
As you can see, the 2 cameras offer the same exact sensor sizing albeit different resolution. You should count on the Panasonic ZS60 to deliver greater detail utilizing its extra 8MP. Higher resolution can also enable you to crop shots a little more aggressively. The more aged EX-FC150 is going to be behind in sensor innovation.
