Quite often, it's hard to visualise the difference in sensor sizes purely by viewing specs. The pic below will provide you a stronger sense of the sensor dimensions in the Fujifilm S4500 and ZS60.
All in all, each of these cameras have the same sensor dimensions but not the same MP. You can anticipate the Panasonic ZS60 to provide you with more detail having its extra 4 Megapixels. Greater resolution will enable you to crop photos a bit more aggressively. The more aged Fujifilm S4500 will be disadvantaged in sensor technology.
