Clearly, the 2 cameras have got the exact same sensor measurements albeit not the same megapixels. You should count on the Panasonic ZS10 to give more detail due to its extra 2 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also make it easier to crop shots much more aggressively. The younger ZS10 will have a benefit with regard to sensor innovation.
