Usually, it is hard to visualise the contrast between sensor dimensions purely by reviewing a spec sheet. The pic underneath may provide you a more clear sense of the sensor sizing in the SX130 IS and EX-ZR400.

As you can see, both of the cameras posses the exact same sensor measurements but not the same resolution. You should anticipate the Casio EX-ZR400 to deliver extra detail using its extra 4MP. Greater resolution will also make it easier to crop pics somewhat more aggressively. The more aged SX130 IS is going to be disadvantaged in sensor technology.
