As you have seen, both of those cameras enjoy different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The EX-H30 using its larger sensor will make shooting shallower depth of field easier and the Casio EX-H30 will give you more detail because of its extra 3 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also enable you to crop pics far more aggressively. The more aged EX-H30 is going to be disadvantaged in sensor innovation.
