Often, it's tough to visualize the gap in sensor dimensions merely by researching specifications. The pic underneath might provide you a greater sense of the sensor sizes in the ZS25 and ZV-1.

Plainly, both of those cameras have got different megapixels and different sensor dimensions. The ZS25 using its smaller sensor is going to make achieving shallow depth of field trickier and the Sony ZV-1 will render greater detail having an extra 4 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also make it easier to crop pictures much more aggressively. The more aged ZS25 will be behind in sensor innovation.
