Clearly, both of these cameras enjoy different resolutions and different sensor dimensions. The EX-FC100 due to its smaller sensor is going to make shooting shallow depth of field tougher and the Casio EX-FC100 will result in extra detail due to its extra 4 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also make it easier to crop images far more aggressively. The more recent EX-FC100 provides an advantage in sensor innovation.
