Sometimes, it is difficult to visualize the contrast in sensor sizing simply by seeing specs. The visual underneath might provide you a stronger sense of the sensor measurements in the ZS25 and K10D.

As you can plainly see, both of those cameras feature different megapixels and different sensor sizing. The ZS25 because of its smaller sensor is going to make shooting shallow depth of field more difficult and the Panasonic ZS25 will produce more detail due to its extra 6MP. Higher resolution can also let you crop shots way more aggressively. The younger ZS25 should have an edge with regard to sensor innovation.
