Typically, it's hard to imagine the gap in sensor dimensions merely by viewing technical specs. The pic underneath might offer you a much better sense of the sensor sizes in the EX-H20G and SD9.

As you can tell, the 2 cameras offer different megapixels and different sensor dimensions. The EX-H20G featuring a smaller sensor is going to make shooting shallow depth of field harder and the Casio EX-H20G will result in more detail having its extra 11MP. Greater resolution will make it easier to crop pics a little more aggressively. The fresher EX-H20G should have an advantage with regard to sensor innovation.
