In many cases, it is very difficult to envision the gap between sensor dimensions purely by looking at a spec sheet. The picture below will help give you a greater sense of the sensor measurements in the TS6 and ZS60.

As you can see, the two cameras come with the identical sensor size but not the same MP. You should anticipate the Panasonic ZS60 to resolve greater detail with its extra 2MP. Greater resolution can also allow you to crop photos a good deal more aggressively. The more aged TS6 is going to be disadvantaged in sensor innovation.
