Typically, its hard to see the difference between sensor sizing only by reading a spec sheet. The graphic underneath will help offer you a more clear sense of the sensor measurements in the Fujifilm Real 3D W3 and ZS15.
Clearly, both cameras provide the same sensor dimensions albeit not the same resolution. You should expect the Panasonic ZS15 to offer you extra detail with its extra 2 Megapixels. Higher resolution will enable you to crop shots more aggressively. The older Fujifilm Real 3D W3 is going to be disadvantaged in sensor innovation.
