Oftentimes, its hard to imagine the gap in sensor dimensions just by researching specifications. The image below will offer you a much better sense of the sensor sizing in the ZS35 and E90.

To sum up, both of these cameras posses the exact same sensor measurements albeit different resolution. You can expect the Panasonic ZS35 to render extra detail as a result of its extra 6MP. Higher resolution will also make it easier to crop photographs somewhat more aggressively. The more recent ZS35 should have a benefit when it comes to sensor innovation.
