Quite often, it is very hard to picture the difference in sensor dimensions purely by going through a spec sheet. The pic here might give you a more clear sense of the sensor dimensions in the TS6 and ZS15.

Clearly, the two cameras have got the exact same sensor measurements albeit different megapixels. You can expect the Panasonic TS6 to provide more detail with its extra 4 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also allow you to crop photographs much more aggressively. The more recent TS6 should have a benefit when it comes to sensor technology.
