To sum up, both of those cameras feature different megapixels and different sensor sizes. The L1 due to its bigger sensor will make getting shallow DOF less difficult and the Panasonic TS25 will show more detail as a result of its extra 9MP. Higher resolution will make it easier to crop shots way more aggressively. The more aged L1 will be disadvantaged with regard to sensor innovation.
