Normally, it can be tough to visualize the gap between sensor sizing simply by reviewing a spec sheet. The visual here will give you a better sense of the sensor dimensions in the EX-ZR700 and ZS70.
As you can see, both of those cameras feature the identical sensor size albeit different resolution. You should expect the Panasonic ZS70 to offer you more detail having its extra 4MP. Higher resolution will also enable you to crop shots way more aggressively. The older EX-ZR700 is going to be behind when it comes to sensor innovation.
