Panasonic L10 vs Panasonic ZS25 Sensor Comparison

Normally, it can be hard to imagine the difference in sensor dimensions purely by researching technical specs. The pic underneath will help offer you a far better sense of the sensor measurements in the L10 and ZS25.

As you have seen, both cameras enjoy different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The L10 featuring a bigger sensor is going to make shooting shallower DOF less difficult and the Panasonic ZS25 will provide you with extra detail as a result of its extra 6MP. Higher resolution can also let you crop shots far more aggressively. The more aged L10 will be disadvantaged in sensor innovation.
