More often than not, it can be tough to visualise the contrast in sensor sizing purely by checking out a spec sheet. The graphic here will help provide you a better sense of the sensor sizing in the SP-620 UZ and ZS60.
As you can see, both of those cameras feature the identical sensor size but not the same MP. You can expect to see the Panasonic ZS60 to produce more detail as a result of its extra 2MP. Greater resolution will allow you to crop photos way more aggressively. The older SP-620 UZ will be behind when it comes to sensor tech.
