All in all, both the cameras have got the exact same sensor measurements but not the same resolution. You can anticipate the Panasonic ZS80 to provide greater detail as a result of its extra 2MP. Greater resolution can also make it easier to crop images much more aggressively. The more modern ZS80 will have an advantage with regard to sensor technology.
