Normally, it is very tough to visualize the contrast in sensor sizes simply by researching technical specs. The pic here will help give you a much better sense of the sensor sizes in the S100 and EX-H20G.

As you have seen, both the cameras offer different resolutions and different sensor sizes. The S100 having a bigger sensor is going to make getting bokeh less difficult and the Casio EX-H20G will result in greater detail using its extra 2 Megapixels. Higher resolution will enable you to crop pictures a little more aggressively. The younger S100 should have a benefit with regard to sensor innovation.
