Panasonic TS10 vs Panasonic TS30 Sensor Comparison

Normally, it can be difficult to envision the gap between sensor dimensions merely by looking at a spec sheet. The image here may offer you a clearer sense of the sensor dimensions in the TS10 and TS30.

As you can see, both the cameras feature the identical sensor size albeit not the same MP. You should count on the Panasonic TS30 to give you more detail due to its extra 2 Megapixels. Higher resolution will enable you to crop pictures way more aggressively. The more aged TS10 is going to be disadvantaged with regard to sensor innovation.
