Usually, it is very tough to see the contrast in sensor dimensions purely by viewing a spec sheet. The image below should provide you a much better sense of the sensor dimensions in the EX-Z270 and GXR S10 24-72mm F2.5-4.4 VC.
Clearly, the 2 cameras provide the same MP albeit not the same sensor dimensions. The EX-Z270 includes the smaller sensor which should make getting shallow depth of field more difficult. The more aged EX-Z270 will be behind in sensor innovation.
