The L20 was brought out 9 years prior to the ZS70 which is quite a sizable gap as far as tech is concerned. Both of the cameras come with the identical body type (Compact).

Before getting through a step-by-step comparison, below is a brief summation of how the L20 matches up against the ZS70 when considering portability, imaging, features and an overall mark.

Here is a sample of the gallery pics for Nikon Coolpix L20 and Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZS70. The entire galleries are provided at Nikon L20 Gallery and Panasonic ZS70 Gallery.

Generally, its difficult to envision the gap between sensor dimensions only by reading specifications. The image here will offer you a clearer sense of the sensor sizing in the L20 and ZS70.

To sum up, both the cameras have got the exact same sensor measurements but not the same resolution. You should expect to see the Panasonic ZS70 to offer greater detail having its extra 10 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also make it easier to crop photos much more aggressively. The more aged L20 is going to be behind with regard to sensor innovation.
