Normally, it can be hard to imagine the difference between sensor sizing just by checking specifications. The visual underneath should provide you a far better sense of the sensor measurements in the VR-330 and ZS60.
To sum up, the 2 cameras come with the identical sensor size albeit different megapixels. You can expect the Panasonic ZS60 to give extra detail as a result of its extra 4MP. Higher resolution will also let you crop shots a good deal more aggressively. The older VR-330 is going to be behind with regard to sensor tech.
