Generally, its tough to see the gap between sensor sizing purely by reading through technical specs. The graphic underneath will give you a stronger sense of the sensor sizes in the EX-H10 and XZ-2 iHS.
As you have seen, both of those cameras have got the exact same MP albeit not the same sensor sizing. The EX-H10 includes the tinier sensor which is going to make obtaining shallower DOF trickier. The older EX-H10 is going to be behind with regard to sensor tech.
