Sometimes, it's difficult to visualise the contrast between sensor dimensions purely by going over specifications. The picture below may give you a greater sense of the sensor sizing in the ZS70 and CX4.

To sum up, both of those cameras enjoy the same exact sensor sizing albeit not the same megapixels. You can expect the Panasonic ZS70 to deliver extra detail having its extra 10 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also help you crop photographs far more aggressively. The more modern ZS70 will have a benefit in sensor tech.
