Quite often, it is very hard to envision the gap in sensor measurements only by researching a spec sheet. The visual here should give you a far better sense of the sensor measurements in the ZS15 and ZS60.

Clearly, both the cameras feature the identical sensor size but not the same MP. You can anticipate the Panasonic ZS60 to provide you with more detail having its extra 6MP. Greater resolution can also make it easier to crop pics way more aggressively. The older ZS15 will be disadvantaged with regard to sensor technology.
