Sometimes, it is very tough to visualize the difference between sensor sizing simply by looking at a spec sheet. The photograph here will give you a much better sense of the sensor sizing in the LZ30 and K110D.

As you can see, both the cameras provide different megapixels and different sensor sizing. The LZ30 due to its tinier sensor is going to make getting shallow depth of field more difficult and the Panasonic LZ30 will give greater detail as a result of its extra 10 Megapixels. Higher resolution will help you crop shots more aggressively. The younger LZ30 should have an advantage in sensor tech.
