Typically, it is very tough to see the difference between sensor sizes purely by checking specifications. The pic below should provide you a better sense of the sensor sizing in the ZS20 and ZS25.

To sum up, both of the cameras offer the same exact sensor sizing but not the same megapixels. You can anticipate the Panasonic ZS25 to resolve more detail because of its extra 2 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also allow you to crop photos a little more aggressively. The more aged ZS20 is going to be disadvantaged with regard to sensor tech.
