Generally, it can be hard to envision the contrast in sensor dimensions merely by seeing a spec sheet. The image here should offer you a more clear sense of the sensor dimensions in the ZS8 and Galaxy Camera 4G.

As you can see, both of those cameras provide the same sensor dimensions albeit not the same resolution. You can expect the Samsung Galaxy Camera 4G to provide more detail due to its extra 2MP. Higher resolution can also allow you to crop photographs more aggressively. The more aged ZS8 will be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor tech.
