Sometimes, it's difficult to imagine the gap in sensor measurements purely by researching a spec sheet. The photograph here will provide you a greater sense of the sensor measurements in the S620 and ZS25.

Clearly, the two cameras provide the same sensor dimensions albeit different resolution. You should expect the Panasonic ZS25 to result in more detail having an extra 4MP. Higher resolution will make it easier to crop shots more aggressively. The older S620 will be behind in sensor innovation.
