Before delving straight into a detailed comparison, below is a short highlight of how the L120 matches up versus the ZS60 in relation to portability, imaging, features and an overall mark.

This is a sample of the gallery pics for Nikon Coolpix L120 and Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZS60. The complete galleries are viewable at Nikon L120 Gallery and Panasonic ZS60 Gallery.

Normally, it can be hard to visualise the gap in sensor dimensions simply by viewing technical specs. The pic underneath will offer you a better sense of the sensor measurements in the L120 and ZS60.

As you have seen, both of these cameras have got the exact same sensor measurements but not the same resolution. You should expect to see the Panasonic ZS60 to provide you with more detail as a result of its extra 4 Megapixels. Greater resolution will let you crop photos much more aggressively. The more aged L120 will be behind with regard to sensor innovation.
