Normally, its tough to picture the gap in sensor sizes simply by seeing a spec sheet. The picture here should provide you a stronger sense of the sensor dimensions in the EX-10 and LX3.

As you can see, both of those cameras provide different resolutions and different sensor sizes. The EX-10 due to its bigger sensor is going to make shooting shallower DOF simpler and the Casio EX-10 will show more detail due to its extra 2 Megapixels. Higher resolution will allow you to crop photographs more aggressively. The fresher EX-10 provides an advantage in sensor innovation.
