Oftentimes, it's difficult to picture the gap between sensor measurements purely by going over technical specs. The graphic here might offer you a greater sense of the sensor measurements in the LF1 and ZS70.

As you have seen, both of these cameras provide different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The LF1 with its bigger sensor is going to make getting bokeh easier and the Panasonic ZS70 will deliver greater detail with its extra 8 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also let you crop shots more aggressively. The older LF1 is going to be behind in sensor innovation.
