Normally, it's tough to envision the gap between sensor sizes purely by checking technical specs. The image underneath will give you a clearer sense of the sensor sizing in the EX-H10 and SZ5.

As you can tell, both of these cameras provide the same sensor dimensions but not the same resolution. You should expect to see the Panasonic SZ5 to resolve greater detail because of its extra 2 Megapixels. Greater resolution will make it easier to crop photos more aggressively. The more aged EX-H10 is going to be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor tech.
