Take into account, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will change dependant on the lens you use during that time. The following is a front view dimension comparison of the ZS25 and the HX90V.

Taking into account dimensions and weight, the portability grade of the ZS25 and HX90V is 93 and 91 respectively.

Quite often, it can be hard to imagine the contrast between sensor measurements only by reading technical specs. The photograph below should give you a greater sense of the sensor sizing in the ZS25 and HX90V.

As you have seen, the two cameras feature the identical sensor size but different resolution. You should anticipate the Sony HX90V to deliver more detail due to its extra 2 Megapixels. Greater resolution will allow you to crop images way more aggressively. The older ZS25 is going to be behind when it comes to sensor innovation.
