More often than not, it's hard to visualise the difference between sensor dimensions just by looking at a spec sheet. The pic underneath may offer you a much better sense of the sensor dimensions in the M580 and TS25.

As you can see, each of these cameras offer the same exact sensor sizing but not the same resolution. You should anticipate the Panasonic TS25 to resolve more detail with its extra 2MP. Greater resolution will also enable you to crop images a little more aggressively. The more aged M580 is going to be disadvantaged in sensor technology.
