As you have seen, both of the cameras enjoy different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The TS2 because of its tinier sensor will make shooting shallower depth of field more challenging and the Panasonic TS2 will deliver more detail having its extra 2MP. Higher resolution can also make it easier to crop shots far more aggressively. The more aged TS2 is going to be behind with regard to sensor innovation.
