Sometimes, it is tough to visualize the gap between sensor measurements purely by reading a spec sheet. The visual here will help provide you a far better sense of the sensor measurements in the TS25 and K100D S.

Clearly, each of the cameras enjoy different megapixels and different sensor measurements. The TS25 featuring a tinier sensor is going to make getting shallower depth of field harder and the Panasonic TS25 will deliver greater detail as a result of its extra 10 Megapixels. Greater resolution will let you crop images far more aggressively. The more modern TS25 provides an edge in sensor tech.
