Typically, it can be tough to envision the difference in sensor dimensions only by going through technical specs. The image here might provide you a stronger sense of the sensor measurements in the Z915 and ZS5.

As you have seen, both of these cameras provide the same sensor dimensions albeit not the same megapixels. You should count on the Panasonic ZS5 to produce extra detail because of its extra 2 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also enable you to crop photographs more aggressively. The more aged Z915 will be disadvantaged in sensor innovation.
