Sometimes, its hard to visualise the gap in sensor sizes merely by checking out a spec sheet. The pic underneath should offer you a more clear sense of the sensor dimensions in the EX-H30 and R-D1x.

Clearly, both the cameras come with different megapixels and different sensor sizes. The EX-H30 with its smaller sensor will make shooting shallower DOF harder and the Casio EX-H30 will produce more detail using its extra 10 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also make it easier to crop shots a good deal more aggressively. The more recent EX-H30 is going to have an advantage when it comes to sensor innovation.
