All in all, each of the cameras posses different megapixel count and different sensor sizing. The ZS200 due to its tinier sensor will make shooting shallow depth of field more difficult and the Panasonic ZS200 will offer greater detail as a result of its extra 15 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also allow you to crop pics somewhat more aggressively. The younger ZS200 is going to have a benefit with regard to sensor tech.
