Typically, it is very tough to envision the difference in sensor sizing purely by checking out specifications. The graphic below may offer you a greater sense of the sensor measurements in the S1800 and LZ30.

To sum up, each of these cameras come with the identical sensor size albeit not the same MP. You should expect the Panasonic LZ30 to provide more detail with its extra 4MP. Higher resolution will let you crop shots a good deal more aggressively. The older S1800 will be behind with regard to sensor tech.
