Generally, it is hard to visualise the gap between sensor dimensions purely by looking at specifications. The picture here will offer you a much better sense of the sensor measurements in the ZS60 and CX6.

Plainly, the 2 cameras have the same sensor dimensions but not the same megapixels. You can expect to see the Panasonic ZS60 to resolve more detail as a result of its extra 8 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also help you crop images a bit more aggressively. The younger ZS60 is going to have an advantage with regard to sensor innovation.
