Usually, it is very tough to visualise the gap between sensor dimensions purely by reviewing specs. The picture underneath should provide you a far better sense of the sensor measurements in the ZS25 and HX10V.

Greater resolution will make it easier to crop images more aggressively. The more recent ZS25 will have an advantage when it comes to sensor tech.
