As you have seen, both the cameras posses the exact same sensor measurements but not the same resolution. You should expect to see the Panasonic ZS60 to produce greater detail having its extra 2MP. Greater resolution can also help you crop pics somewhat more aggressively. The more aged Fujifilm S9200 will be behind when it comes to sensor tech.
