As you can see, both of those cameras enjoy different megapixels and different sensor sizes. The ZS200 having a smaller sensor is going to make getting bokeh more difficult and the Panasonic ZS200 will show greater detail with its extra 4MP. Higher resolution can also allow you to crop photographs far more aggressively. The newer ZS200 provides a benefit in sensor technology.
