Panasonic ZS25 vs Panasonic ZS70 Sensor Comparison
In many cases, it is difficult to see the contrast in sensor measurements simply by going through specifications. The graphic underneath may provide you a far better sense of the sensor dimensions in the ZS25 and ZS70.
Plainly, each of these cameras come with the identical sensor size albeit not the same resolution. You should expect the Panasonic ZS70 to show more detail utilizing its extra 4 Megapixels. Higher resolution will allow you to crop shots a good deal more aggressively. The older ZS25 will be disadvantaged with regard to sensor tech.
