Sometimes, it is very tough to picture the gap between sensor sizes purely by reviewing technical specs. The image underneath will offer you a more clear sense of the sensor dimensions in the M530 and ZS25.

As you have seen, both of these cameras offer the same exact sensor sizing albeit different megapixels. You should expect the Panasonic ZS25 to offer you extra detail with its extra 4MP. Higher resolution will let you crop pictures a little more aggressively. The more aged M530 is going to be behind when it comes to sensor innovation.
