Clearly, both of these cameras feature different megapixels and different sensor sizing. The 10D using its bigger sensor will make getting shallower depth of field simpler and the Casio EX-ZR400 will resolve more detail with its extra 10MP. Higher resolution can also let you crop pictures way more aggressively. The older 10D is going to be behind when it comes to sensor tech.
