More often than not, it's tough to imagine the difference between sensor sizes just by reading a spec sheet. The pic below should provide you a better sense of the sensor sizes in the C140 and ZS70.

Clearly, both of these cameras offer different megapixels and different sensor sizes. The C140 due to its tinier sensor is going to make shooting shallower depth of field more difficult and the Panasonic ZS70 will deliver greater detail as a result of its extra 12MP. Higher resolution will help you crop pictures a little more aggressively. The more aged C140 is going to be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor tech.
