To sum up, both the cameras come with different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The LF1 because of its bigger sensor is going to make shooting shallower depth of field less difficult and the Panasonic ZS10 will resolve more detail utilizing its extra 2MP. Higher resolution will also help you crop shots a good deal more aggressively. The more recent LF1 should have an edge in sensor technology.
