In many cases, it is hard to see the gap between sensor dimensions merely by checking technical specs. The picture here will help provide you a much better sense of the sensor measurements in the ZS10 and Galaxy Camera 4G.

As you have seen, both of these cameras posses the exact same sensor measurements but not the same megapixels.
