Normally, its tough to visualise the gap between sensor sizes purely by reading through technical specs. The image underneath might provide you a clearer sense of the sensor sizing in the D30 and EX-ZR800.
As you have seen, each of the cameras have the same sensor dimensions but not the same MP. You can anticipate the Casio EX-ZR800 to resolve greater detail with its extra 4 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also let you crop images a bit more aggressively. The more modern D30 is going to have an edge in sensor technology.
