Usually, its difficult to visualize the difference between sensor sizing purely by looking at a spec sheet. The visual here may give you a clearer sense of the sensor dimensions in the L1 and TS10.
Clearly, both of the cameras have got different megapixel count and different sensor sizing. The L1 due to its larger sensor is going to make getting bokeh less difficult and the Panasonic TS10 will give you extra detail due to its extra 7 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also enable you to crop images much more aggressively. The older L1 is going to be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor technology.
