Casio EX-100 vs Epson R-D1x Sensor Comparison

As you can tell, both of the cameras feature different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The EX-100 featuring a tinier sensor will make shooting shallower depth of field more challenging and the Casio EX-100 will offer you more detail due to its extra 6MP. Higher resolution will make it easier to crop pictures way more aggressively. The younger EX-100 is going to have an advantage with regard to sensor tech.
