Normally, it is very tough to imagine the gap between sensor measurements purely by reading specs. The graphic below should offer you a more clear sense of the sensor sizes in the TG-610 and ZS70.
All in all, both of these cameras enjoy the same exact sensor sizing but different resolution. You can anticipate the Panasonic ZS70 to offer more detail having its extra 6MP. Greater resolution will also let you crop photos far more aggressively. The older TG-610 is going to be disadvantaged with regard to sensor tech.
