More often than not, it can be difficult to picture the contrast between sensor measurements only by looking at specs. The photograph here will help provide you a greater sense of the sensor sizing in the TG-610 and ZS80.
As you can plainly see, the two cameras posses the exact same sensor measurements albeit different resolution. You can expect the Panasonic ZS80 to resolve extra detail because of its extra 6 Megapixels. Higher resolution will help you crop shots somewhat more aggressively. The older TG-610 is going to be behind in sensor technology.
