Clearly, both of the cameras enjoy different megapixels and different sensor measurements. The ZS200 having a bigger sensor will make getting bokeh easier and the Panasonic ZS200 will offer more detail using its extra 6 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also help you crop shots far more aggressively. The younger ZS200 will have an edge with regard to sensor tech.
