More often than not, its difficult to visualize the contrast in sensor sizing merely by seeing specifications. The graphic below should offer you a much better sense of the sensor sizes in the FZ60 and L10.

Plainly, both of those cameras come with different resolutions and different sensor sizing. The FZ60 because of its smaller sensor is going to make getting shallower DOF more challenging and the Panasonic FZ60 will produce more detail due to its extra 6 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also allow you to crop photographs a good deal more aggressively. The newer FZ60 provides an edge with regard to sensor tech.
