Panasonic ZS100 has a 20.0MP 1-inch (13.2 x 8.8 mm ) sized MOS sensor and features Venus Engine processor. On the other hand, Leica D-Lux Typ 109 has a 13.0MP Four Thirds (17.3 x 13 mm ) sized CMOS sensor .
Panasonic ZS100's sensor provides 7MP more than Leica D-Lux Typ 109's sensor, which gives a significant advantage in real life. You can print your images larger or crop more freely.
On the other hand, please keep in mind that Max sensor resolution is not the only determinant of resolving power. Factors such as the optical elements, low pass filter, pixel size and sensor technology also affects the final resolution of the captured image.
Below you can see the ZS100 and D-Lux Typ 109 sensor size comparison.
