More often than not, it's hard to visualise the gap between sensor measurements purely by reviewing specifications. The graphic below will offer you a much better sense of the sensor dimensions in the FS25 and TS25.

Plainly, each of the cameras feature the identical sensor size albeit not the same resolution. You can count on the Panasonic TS25 to offer you extra detail using its extra 4MP. Higher resolution will make it easier to crop shots way more aggressively. The older FS25 is going to be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor innovation.
