Panasonic TS10 vs Panasonic ZS15 Sensor Comparison

Usually, it is very difficult to envision the gap in sensor sizing only by researching specs. The graphic underneath may give you a greater sense of the sensor sizing in the TS10 and ZS15.

As you can plainly see, each of the cameras posses the exact same sensor measurements albeit not the same megapixels. You should expect the Panasonic TS10 to render more detail using its extra 2 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also enable you to crop shots somewhat more aggressively. The older TS10 will be behind in sensor tech.
