As you can tell, both of the cameras come with different megapixels and different sensor sizing. The G12 featuring a larger sensor will make getting shallow DOF easier and the Casio EX-H10 will provide you with more detail as a result of its extra 2MP. Greater resolution will also let you crop pics a good deal more aggressively. The more modern G12 will have an edge with regard to sensor tech.
