Generally, it is very hard to imagine the contrast between sensor measurements simply by checking a spec sheet. The photograph here might provide you a stronger sense of the sensor measurements in the ZS200 and G10.

Clearly, both cameras enjoy different megapixels and different sensor measurements. The ZS200 with its tinier sensor is going to make shooting shallow depth of field tougher and the Panasonic ZS200 will give you greater detail using its extra 8 Megapixels. Greater resolution will let you crop images far more aggressively. The younger ZS200 provides an advantage in sensor innovation.
