Generally, it's difficult to see the gap between sensor sizes merely by reading technical specs. The picture here should offer you a greater sense of the sensor dimensions in the Sport and ZS200.

As you have seen, each of the cameras provide different resolutions and different sensor sizes. The Sport having a tinier sensor will make getting shallow DOF trickier and the Panasonic ZS200 will deliver more detail because of its extra 8 Megapixels. Higher resolution will let you crop pictures more aggressively. The more aged Sport is going to be disadvantaged in sensor technology.
