More often than not, it is very hard to visualize the difference between sensor dimensions only by going over a spec sheet. The pic underneath will offer you a clearer sense of the sensor measurements in the E-410 and LZ30.

Clearly, the 2 cameras have different megapixels and different sensor dimensions. The E-410 because of its larger sensor is going to make shooting shallow DOF less difficult and the Panasonic LZ30 will offer you greater detail due to its extra 6MP. Greater resolution will enable you to crop pics a bit more aggressively. The more aged E-410 is going to be disadvantaged with regard to sensor technology.
