More often than not, it can be hard to picture the difference between sensor dimensions only by reviewing specs. The pic below may offer you a much better sense of the sensor dimensions in the L100 and ZS35.

As you can plainly see, both the cameras feature the identical sensor size albeit different resolution. You can expect the Panasonic ZS35 to deliver greater detail due to its extra 6 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also allow you to crop photographs way more aggressively. The more aged L100 is going to be disadvantaged in sensor technology.
