Typically, it is very tough to envision the gap in sensor sizes merely by checking out specifications. The picture underneath may give you a greater sense of the sensor dimensions in the S6000 and SZ1.

Plainly, each of the cameras have the same sensor dimensions albeit not the same resolution. You should count on the Panasonic SZ1 to produce more detail having its extra 2MP. Higher resolution can also let you crop pictures a bit more aggressively. The more aged S6000 will be disadvantaged with regard to sensor tech.
