All in all, both of the cameras have the same sensor dimensions but not the same resolution. You should anticipate the Panasonic ZS40 to produce extra detail with its extra 4MP. Greater resolution will also make it easier to crop pics a bit more aggressively. The more aged TS2 will be disadvantaged in sensor innovation.
