Take into account, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will change dependant on the lens you have chosen at that moment. The following is a front view overall size comparison of the EX-FH100 compared to the DP1s.

Factoring in dimensions and weight, the portability rating of the EX-FH100 and DP1s is 92 and 90 respectively.

Sometimes, it is very hard to visualize the contrast between sensor sizing just by reviewing a spec sheet. The visual here will help give you a greater sense of the sensor sizing in the EX-FH100 and DP1s.

As you can see, both of these cameras come with different resolutions and different sensor sizing. The EX-FH100 having a tinier sensor is going to make achieving shallower depth of field more challenging and the Casio EX-FH100 will deliver greater detail using its extra 5 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also help you crop shots a good deal more aggressively. The more modern EX-FH100 should have an advantage with regard to sensor tech.
