As you can tell, the two cameras come with different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The EX-H20G with its tinier sensor is going to make getting shallow depth of field harder and the Casio EX-H20G will give you extra detail because of its extra 9 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also allow you to crop photographs a good deal more aggressively. The more modern EX-H20G should have an advantage with regard to sensor tech.
