As you have seen, both cameras provide different resolutions and different sensor sizes. The LX100 due to its bigger sensor will make getting shallow depth of field less difficult and the Panasonic TS25 will resolve greater detail as a result of its extra 3MP. Higher resolution will make it easier to crop photographs more aggressively. The younger LX100 will have an advantage with regard to sensor innovation.
