As you can see, both the cameras come with different megapixel count and different sensor sizing. The EX-10 with its bigger sensor is going to make shooting shallower DOF simpler and the Casio EX-10 will show more detail using its extra 2 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also enable you to crop pictures a good deal more aggressively. The fresher EX-10 should have a benefit with regard to sensor innovation.
