Clearly, both cameras posses different resolutions and different sensor sizes. The TS4 with its tinier sensor is going to make shooting shallower depth of field more challenging and the Panasonic TS4 will offer greater detail having an extra 6 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also make it easier to crop shots somewhat more aggressively. The younger TS4 should have an advantage in sensor innovation.
