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.
