More often than not, its hard to see the contrast in sensor measurements just by checking out specs. The visual below might offer you a far better sense of the sensor sizing in the L100 and FZ35.

All in all, each of these cameras enjoy the same exact sensor sizing albeit not the same resolution. You should count on the Panasonic FZ35 to show extra detail due to its extra 2MP. Higher resolution will help you crop photographs far more aggressively. The older L100 will be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor innovation.
