Often, its difficult to visualise the contrast in sensor measurements just by seeing specifications. The photograph below might give you a greater sense of the sensor sizing in the SP-600 UZ and ZS7.

Plainly, each of these cameras come with the identical sensor size and the same exact resolution therefore you can expect comparable quality of pictures though you should always factor the age of the cameras into account. The older SP-600 UZ will be behind in sensor innovation.
