Normally, its tough to envision the contrast in sensor sizing merely by seeing a spec sheet. The photograph underneath will offer you a greater sense of the sensor sizes in the ZS70 and HX90V.

Clearly, both of these cameras posses the exact same sensor measurements but not the same megapixels. You can expect to see the Panasonic ZS70 to produce more detail having an extra 2 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also allow you to crop photos somewhat more aggressively. The newer ZS70 will have an advantage with regard to sensor innovation.
