Often, it can be hard to picture the difference in sensor measurements merely by viewing specifications. The visual below will offer you a clearer sense of the sensor dimensions in the G12 and EX-100.
To sum up, the 2 cameras have the same sensor dimensions but different MP. You can expect to see the Casio EX-100 to render extra detail because of its extra 2MP. Greater resolution will also make it easier to crop photos a bit more aggressively. The older G12 will be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor technology.
