To sum up, both of the cameras come with the identical sensor size albeit different megapixels. You should expect the Panasonic ZS35 to give you more detail as a result of its extra 6MP. Higher resolution will make it easier to crop photographs a good deal more aggressively. The more aged Z915 is going to be disadvantaged with regard to sensor tech.
