Typically, it's hard to visualize the difference between sensor sizing just by reviewing technical specs. The visual here may offer you a far better sense of the sensor measurements in the ZS70 and WB150F.

As you have seen, both of the cameras offer the same exact sensor sizing albeit different resolution. You should expect the Panasonic ZS70 to offer greater detail having its extra 6 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also let you crop shots a little more aggressively. The more recent ZS70 should have a benefit in sensor innovation.
