Generally, it's tough to visualise the gap between sensor sizes only by looking at technical specs. The pic here will offer you a far better sense of the sensor sizes in the EX-H30 and P7800.

As you have seen, each of these cameras have different megapixel count and different sensor sizes. The EX-H30 due to its tinier sensor will make getting shallow depth of field tougher and the Casio EX-H30 will give more detail having its extra 4MP. Higher resolution can also make it easier to crop photographs a bit more aggressively. The more aged EX-H30 is going to be behind with regard to sensor technology.
