Oftentimes, it is difficult to envision the difference in sensor measurements only by researching specs. The photograph below may provide you a far better sense of the sensor sizing in the L110 and SZ10.

As you can plainly see, both the cameras have the same sensor dimensions but not the same resolution. You can anticipate the Panasonic SZ10 to render more detail as a result of its extra 4 Megapixels. Greater resolution will allow you to crop pics a bit more aggressively. The older L110 will be behind with regard to sensor innovation.
