Normally, it is very difficult to imagine the contrast in sensor sizing purely by looking through a spec sheet. The photograph here might provide you a clearer sense of the sensor dimensions in the EX-H15 and Fujifilm X20.

Clearly, both the cameras come with different resolutions and different sensor sizing. The EX-H15 because of its smaller sensor is going to make shooting shallow depth of field harder and the Casio EX-H15 will result in greater detail as a result of its extra 2 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also let you crop pictures a good deal more aggressively. The older EX-H15 will be disadvantaged in sensor innovation.
