As you can tell, each of the cameras have got different megapixels and different sensor sizing. The L19 due to its smaller sensor is going to make getting shallow DOF trickier and the Panasonic ZS35 will result in extra detail due to its extra 8 Megapixels. Greater resolution will let you crop images much more aggressively. The older L19 will be disadvantaged in sensor innovation.
