In many cases, its hard to visualize the difference in sensor sizing purely by viewing a spec sheet. The photograph underneath will help offer you a far better sense of the sensor measurements in the SZ3 and K110D.
Clearly, both of those cameras provide different resolutions and different sensor sizing. The SZ3 using its smaller sensor is going to make shooting shallower DOF more challenging and the Panasonic SZ3 will result in greater detail because of its extra 10MP. Greater resolution will allow you to crop pics more aggressively. The more recent SZ3 should have a benefit with regard to sensor technology.
